The TIS consists of an IR-camera located in a protective housing with internal water cooling. It is mounted in a carriage on the blank side operating channel and moves from section to section along the machine. When the TIS reaches the measuring position, it captures four images within a section cycle on the parison and the mould parts: blank mould, plunger and neck ring. The TIS is equipped with its own drive. The intelligent travel program recognizes lubrication cycles, causing the TIS to move away from the operator, on the one hand to avoid obstructing their work on the machine, and on the other hand to prevent contamination by lubricants. When combined with the Heye BlankSideRobot, the TIS is synchronised with the robot's lubrication cycles.

Sensor: IR-camera

• Temperature measurement on the parison
• Temperature measurement on the mould parts: blank mould, plunger, neck ring
• Closed loop prepared (additional software required)
• IR-image visualisation
• Integrated water cooling

• Regular temperature measurement on blank mould, neck ring, plunger and parison
• The optional closed loop for controlling the temperatures of the mould parts significantly enhances production performance: by processing data from temperature sensors, the system adjusts the timing of cooling cycles, optimizing the manufacturing process.
• Quality improvement: no uneven distribution of glass because of temperature differences in the moulds
• Improved process knowledge and fine-tuning of the production
• Less workload for operators
