    Cavity pressure sensors Kistler’s piezoelectric sensors and systems measure and analyze the pressure in the mold cavity during injection molding. Those measurements can be used to better control the injection molding process and improve efficiency.

    What’s new? Three new miniature sensors introduced at K 2019. They include the 6178C, 6182D and the 6183D, which is 1mm in diameter and is the smallest of its type on the market, Kistler said. Also new is the use of the company’s Unisens technology, which greatly enhances the sensitivity of the devices, and a special hard coating.

    Benefits Maximum precision and ease of use. The sensors are easy to handle and replace, making them ideal for multicavity molds. Their precision makes them suited for molding complex, high-precision parts. Additionally, their coating protects against abrasion and corrosion, making them ideal for use with glass-fiber-reinforced plastics and flame-retardant materials.
