ThermoPulse is AvPro's newest product! The ThermoPulse temperature sensing system utilizes the latest in microwire technology in order to provide real-time temperature feedback from within a laminate interior or even repair bond line. The microwire temperature sensors are permanently embedded at critical zones within the repair or laminate and wirelessly provide temperature response data to the controller.

Implementation of the ThermoPulse system will provide composites processing knowledge never before available. The embedded sensors demonstrate increasing precision with temperature; thus providing assurance that performance-critical parts are actually reaching required temperatures, rather than relying solely on "scrap temperature" around the trim.

But what about defecting my parts?!
This is a common and understood concern. However, the ThermoPulse sensors are designed to be small enough so that they do not cause mechanical defects or even violate most acceptance specifications. Earlier studies with American and European companies showed no discernable difference between samples with sensors and those without.

ThermoPulse is a key component within AvPro's Material State Management (MSM™) solution for composites processing. It can provide interior and bond line temperatures which have never been available for production parts. By providing this data, operators and engineers gain critical visibility as to the effects of a cure process on the part itself.

The goal of a ThermoPulse system used for composites manufacturing and repair is simple: provide increased knowledge of the actual material state while reducing cost and increasing quality assurance. Click here for some literature with additional product details.
