    Quality Control and Assurance

    See more with thermal imaging cameras from Testo

    Poor product quality or disruptions in the production process can lead to significant financial consequences for any company.

    To minimise these risks, we recommend incorporating thermography into your process and quality control by investing in a Testo thermal imaging camera. With thermography, you can ensure that your production control is reliable and efficient. Testo's thermal imaging instruments allow for non-contact detection of thermal irregularities, helping you optimize processes and maintain consistent quality.

    Using a thermal imaging camera can enable you to achieve efficient quality monitoring.

    Quality Control

    Production of die-cast plastic components

    Testo thermal imaging cameras are used for targeted monitoring of the cooling process in the development and production of die-cast plastic components. If die-cast components cool very irregularly, differing material densities occur within the die-cast components. This leads to reduced stability and poor fitting. Thermography can be used to monitor and document the cooling process. This enables problematic areas to be detected early on during the development stage and remedied straight away.

    More reliability in your quality and production control

    Testo thermal imaging cameras ensure precise situation analysis, thereby supporting the product process control and quality assurance. Not only are these able to detect foreign bodies in production processes, they also offer rapid, non-contact detection of anomalies in the heat distribution of components. Systematic control: Thermography.

    Quality Assurance

    Monitor injection and die-casting moulds

    A thermal imaging cameras can be used to monitor multi-cavity moulds for inhomogeneous temperature distribution. “Temperature nests” and critical temperatures can also be detected. Using thermography in this area will help you to enhance the quality of your injection-moulded parts and reduce waste.

    Monitor forming processes

    Forming processes such as rolling, bending and deep-drawing can be monitored and optimised with respect to the resulting material quality. You can use a thermal imager to monitor and optimise the maximum generated temperatures as well as complete temperature and cooling profiles. Therefore, thermography can help you to easily rule out any changes in material quality.

    Checking product quality

    Detect quality defects on injection-moulded parts or blanks, such as shrinkage cavities and other inclusions due to temperature differences during cooling. You can also use thermography to determine the wear of the injection-moulding tools or casting moulds used.
