Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the IMPS (In Mould Pressure Sensor) system, designed for precise pressure monitoring and control in RTM and Resin Infusion moulding processes. It includes various components such as sensors, readout units, and accessories for installation and operation.
IMPS Pressure Sensors: These robust ceramic sensors can be mounted in any position and are suitable for direct resin curing. They feature a ¾” BSP connection and operate within a pressure range of -1.0 to +3.0 bar, with temperature capabilities from 0°C to 80°C, extendable to 120°C for high-temperature versions.
Sensor Accessories: The document lists various accessories including sensor cables available in different lengths (10m, 25m, 40m), vacuum bag inserts for sensor integration, and extension leads for connecting sensors to Ciject injection machines.
IMPS Readout Units: These units provide power to sensors and display pressure readings. They support up to 8 sensor inputs, feature a digital LED display, and offer outputs for data acquisition and multi-sensor control. An optional RS-485 communication module is available for enhanced connectivity.
RS-485 Option: This module allows for controller configuration and signal output, supporting various baud rates and using ASCII communication code. Note that RS-485 control software is not supplied.
Product Specifications: The document provides part numbers for ordering different sensor types, readout units, and accessories. It includes instructions on specifying orders with RS-485 options.
Important Notes: Specifications are subject to change without notice, and the document emphasizes contacting Composite Integration for detailed information on using IMPS sensors with Ciject machines.

IMPS Equipment-1

IMPS: In Mould Pressure Sensor systems IMPS: In Mould Pressure Sensor System The IMPS range of pressure sensors and readout units has been developed specifically for accurate pressure monitoring/control in RTM and Resin Infusion moulding processes. A range of fittings is available to allow sensors to be mounted through the surface of a composite or metal mould or into a vacuum bag. IMPS Sensors can be used to provide in-mould feedback control to Ciject Injection machines (contact Composite Integration for details) IMPS Pressure Sensors Robust ceramic sensor. Can be mounted in any position or orientation. Resin can be cured directly against sensor face. ¾” BSP connection. Pressure range: -1.0 to +3.0 bar (Other sensing ranges available on request) Standard Operating Temperature 0°C to 80°C (high temperature versions also available for use up to 120°C) Sensor Cable and connectors 25m cable and connector for connection of pressure sensor to a readout/control unit. Note: Max temperature 80°C Available in 10m, 25m or 40m lengths. Ciject Sensor Extension Lead Cable and connector to extend CIJECT sensor cable to remote IMPS sensor (if using an IMPS sensor to control a Ciject injection/infusion machine. Available in 3m, 10m or 25m lengths. Vacuum Bag IMPS sensor Insert (to fit over ‘spiral’ type resin feed-line) For fitting an IMPS (In Mould Pressure Sensor) into a vacuum bag. (Sensor supplied separately). Designed to fit over standard ‘spiral wrap’ resin feed line.
