Résumé : |
Terahertz and microwave methods offer a wide range of applications for testing of plastic packaging. Already established wall thickness measurements and defect detection are now joined by a wealth of other possible applications that promise process reliability and cost efficiency. Both systems show different strengths and are suitable for different applications. |
Note de contenu : |
- Differences between THé and MW
- Saving costs and resources by inline testing
- THz-systems advantageous with foams
- Reliable recognition of defects in packaging
- Moisture and filler content : further applications for the testin methods
- Fig. 1 : The frequency range of terahertz and microwave technology lies between that of radio wave-based systems and that of infrared and UV light-based systems
- Fig. 2 : Principle of thickness measurement: interfaces of different density lead to reflection of terahertz and microwaves. By measuring the temporal behavior and knowing the material-specific propagation speed, the distance traveled and thus the thickness can be inferred
- Fig. 3 : Relationship between the refractive index, which can be determined in real time and inline, and the bulk density for various expanded polymers : since the frequency bandwidth is wider for THz systems than for MW systems, the former are more suitable for testing foams
- Fig. 4 : THz and MW measurement techniques can be used to determine the moisture content of polymers. MW systems are particularly suitable for this purpose
- Fig. 5 : Measuring the frequency-dependent absorbance allows conclusions to be drawn about particle sizes. A wide frequency bandwidth is an important criterion for this purpose
- Fig. 6 : THz and MW methods can also be used for the identification of materials |
