Accurately By Norman Remich Compact data logger controls precise heat for curing ovens. The primary objective of heat curing is to cycle as many parts per hour as possible through ovens while maintaining proper curing periods.
Temperature control is crucial to achieve a proper cure and keep assembly lines moving quickly.
Curing ovens, however, are generally not equipped with precise heating control. The device is housed in a stainless-steel thermal protective case so it can remain in the oven during testing. Using the new instrument, PD George Co. is able to attach five sensor probes to each part for more precise measurements during curing. The St. Louis company makes varnishes and magnet-wire coatings for the electrical motor and transformer industries. Quite often, their oven temps will fluctuate plus or minus many degrees throughout the curing.
