Types: Point, line
Measures: Resin electrical resistivity (impedance), ion viscosity and permittivity, temperature
Installation: Reusable in the mold or resin feed line, disposable on top of/inside part (affects properties)
Monitoring: Flow, cure, Tg, viscosity
Contactless: Most dielectric sensors require contact with resin; Twenco sensors do not
Suppliers: Lambient, NCC/Cranfield University, Netzsch Process Intelligence, Synthesites, Twenco, sensXPERT
Adhesive-free, functionalized hybrid composites enabled by industry-first, integrated molding cell.
Lambient Technologies advances dielectric analysis (DEA) for more reliable, affordable composites manufacturing.
Research at Cranfield University is further developed via RTM part trials in NCC’s Technology Pull-Through Program
University of Augsburg developed sensors for the CosiMo project’s digital twin and closed-loop process control of EV battery box cover demonstrator, and now moves forward with the AI Production Network for industry collaboration.
Synthesites in situ process monitoring enables cure decisions based on real-time Tg evaluation that can reduce cure cycles by up to 50%.
