In the production process of molds, slight temperature changes may have a significant impact on product quality. With the help of infrared thermal imagers, product defects such as cracks, bubbles, and sand holes caused by mold temperature runaway can be effectively prevented. How does thermal imaging improve the accuracy of mold production? Let's take a look at how the Guide Sensmart Thermal Imager can perform in actual combat.

Temperature detection of automotive parts molds

A precision die-casting company in China, is a foreign-funded enterprise that produces auto parts and has strong precision mold manufacturing capabilities.

However, in the die-casting moving mold and fixed mold links, mold defects such as shrinkage marks, sand holes, cracks, and bubbles often appear, and customers face great difficulties. How to solve it? Users use Guide Sensmart H series intelligent infrared thermal imagers to accurately measure the temperature changes of the mold during the die-casting process, generate visual thermal images, and effectively avoid the adverse effects of excessively high or low mold temperatures on the quality, service life, and production cycle of parts.

Users approve of the temperature detection effect of our H Series. They can see the temperature data of each part of the mold to assist data analysis and process optimization. At the same time, the equipment is very easy to operate and has good stability.

Detecting the temperature of wind turbine blade molds

An energy company in China, specializes in the production of generators, wind turbines, and fans. The problem faced by customers is that the blades of wind turbines are made by double-sided die-casting after the mold is filled with glue and heated to shape. The volume is large, and it is difficult for humans to pay real-time and comprehensive attention to the die-casting process and seek efficient and comprehensive temperature detection solutions. How to solve it? In the mold production workshop, the Gaode Zhigan H series intelligent infrared thermal imager is used to detect the surface temperature of the blades in the die-casting process in real time. It can timely detect uneven heating and abnormal temperature during the heating process of the glue filling, and assist in efficiently finding the root cause of the mold pressing problem.

Users said that in the thermal image of the H series, the high and low temperature areas are very obvious, and the temperature abnormality can be found at a glance, which effectively helps them to ensure the quality of product delivery, while effectively reducing the defective rate and saving production costs.

H Series Intelligent Infrared Thermal Imager

The H Series Intelligent Infrared Thermal Imager used in the above two projects won the 2023 World Design Oscar - the German Red Dot Award. At the same time, it has a powerful "core" with a built-in AutoNavi self-developed high-sensitivity infrared detector. Five resolutions and multiple lenses can be freely selected to match the various detection scenarios required by the mold industry.

Application advantages

Non-contact temperature measurement without interrupting the production process

Non-contact measurement of mold surface temperature distribution, without interrupting the production process, avoiding interference, and ensuring the safety of the inspectors.

Real-time detection, intuitive presentation of the heating or cooling process

Real-time tracking of the entire die-casting process, intuitive presentation of the temperature changes of the mold during the heating or cooling process, and precise control of the process.

Guarantee product quality, improve quality and efficiency

Accurately present uneven heat distribution and potential thermal hazards, prevent and promptly discover problems, reduce scrap rates, reduce production costs, and bring significant economic benefits to enterprises.

Optimize mold design and manufacturing

The temperature distribution heat map can provide an important reference for mold design and manufacturing. Engineers can optimize the structure and material selection of the mold, improve the performance and life of the mold, and further improve product quality.
