In-line Infusion Monitoring

Testia’s In-line Infusion Monitoring is leading the way to fully automated composite processes

It provides a sensor system for detection and localization of resin flow-front in dry fibre manufacturing processes (RTM, LRI)

Available in two versions:

  • Portable equipment (PF-16): quick to relocate
  • Industrial embedded equipment (SF-16): integrated PC and monitor

Main features:

  • Precise resin localisation along line sensors
  • Real time monitoring
  • 16 channels for parallel monitoring of resin behavior
  • Intuitive user interface and visualization
  • Solutions for different industries (e.g. aerospace, wind energy, construction)
  • Enabler for process automation (e.g. online control of resin flow and distribution)
