Bath Exotherm Mode:

The first step in optimization is characterization of the reactive potential of the resin system. The constant temperature bath exotherm test provides insight to gel time, cure time and peak exotherm temperature in a test tube sample of resin.

PUL-VISION allows:

• Rapid and automatic test results
• Test result archiving for historical comparison )
• Test result comparison to manufacturing standard
• Graphic overlay of multiple test results
• Special test configuration for alternate bath temperatures
• Automatic baseline time interval adjustment
• Liquid and solid sample thermal conductivity determination

Process Exotherm Mode:

The most valuable test available to pultruders for on-line characterization, the process exotherm test, has tremendous information content when conducted with complete thermal environment definition.

PUL-VISION provides test configuration features that are unsurpassed:

• 20 die temperature thermocouple monitor channels
• 4 process exotherm thermocouple channels
• Manual entry and direct encoder line speed input
• Die face and exotherm curve association for results clarity
• Graphic and tabular data clearly identifies thermal balance
• Successive test overlay for parameter change interpretation

Open Experiment Mode:

When pre-configured formats don’t fit the experimental need, create special experiments with custom sensors using analog inputs, analog outputs and digital I/O channels provided.

PUL-VISION includes the ability to:

• Configure up to 4 analog inputs and define 4 outputs
• Define measurement frequency and test duration
• Output data to EXCEL file for off-line manipulation
• Configure specialty report formats with experiment notes
• View realtime data on bar graph, meter and line charts
• Based on Lab View data acquisition environment
