Thermoplastic Elastomer World Summit

Join us at the Thermoplastic Elastomer World Summit 2024 in Vienna, Austria!

Date: November 19th - 20th 2024

Location: Vienna, Austria

Join our session at the Thermoplastic Elastomer World Summit

Dynamic Production Process Control using Dielectric In-Mold Monitoring and AI

 

During Thermoplastic Elastomer World Summit 2024

 

  • Quality issues of final parts due to material and machine variability are in the past. In-mold sensors using the dielectric measurement principle measure material behavior like glass transition temperature and vulcanization during the production process.
  • Fundamentals of dielectric analysis and applications for TPE and elastomer processing
  • How dielectric analysis and machine learning can be combined for dynamic process optimization
  • Case studies demonstrating how dielectric analysis is being used in different industries achieving cycle time reduction of around 15% in a rubber stator production process

November 19 – 20, 2024

Join us in Vienna, Austria

The TPE World Summit unites manufacturers, processors, end-users, designers, and researchers for an in-depth technical discussion on silicone and TPE elastomer materials, global markets, processing innovations, and new applications. Industrial and academic researchers, along with silicone and TPE elastomer users, will delve into emerging applications, advanced manufacturing techniques, improved processing methods, and testing advancements driving the industry’s growth.

Our Speaker

Dr. Nicholas Ecke

Since October 2022, Dr. Nicholas Ecke has joined the NETZSCH Process Intelligence GmbH team around Dr. Alexander Chaloupka. The application engineer studied process and medical engineering at the Technical University of Munich and was a chief engineer at the Chair of Composite Materials at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. In 2021, he completed his doctorate in engineering with his dissertation, which was awarded the Oechsler Prize. The thesis dealt with methods and approaches for developing and designing tribological components made of plastics. As a sensXPERT, Dr. Nicholas Ecke takes care of the smooth integration of the intelligent sensor technology sensXPERT Digital Mold in the production processes of customers worldwide.
