Product catalog summary
Overview of Contoured Infrared Technology (CIT)
Contoured Infrared Technology (CIT) by Emerson is a non-contact plastic welding method designed to produce particulate-free and aesthetically clean joints. It is particularly beneficial for applications requiring high design flexibility and clean optical welds.

Key Benefits
  • Clean Aesthetics: CIT produces welds that are virtually free of particulates, enhancing both the aesthetics and performance of the final product.
  • Design Flexibility: The technology allows for the incorporation of weld lines into product designs, even in complex 2D and 3D moldings.
  • Energy Efficiency: CIT uses metal-foil IR emitters that match the absorption characteristics of most polymers, resulting in faster welds, reduced cycle times, and lower energy consumption.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive, home appliances, and medical technology products.

Technical Specifications
  • Process: CIT employs medium-wave, metal-foil emitters for precise plasticization without contact, ensuring no damage to pre-assembled parts.
  • Operation: Parts are held a few millimeters from the emitter platen, which pre-heats the weld area. After plasticization, parts are pressed together to form a clean joint.
  • Materials: Compatible with various polymers such as polyester, polyamide, polycarbonate, and more.

Software and Monitoring
  • User Interface: The CIT software provides a user-friendly interface for machine operation and data acquisition.
  • Remote Monitoring: Allows for remote evaluation and troubleshooting of machine parameters and cycle times.

Global Support and Service
Emerson offers comprehensive global support through a network of 70 offices, ensuring superior technology, support, and customer service.

Conclusion
Emerson's CIT meets the increasing demands of the plastics industry by providing a clean-joining technology that enhances design flexibility, part integrity, and manufacturing efficiency.

How Contoured Infrared Technology (CIT) Works Absorption Chart Emerson Contoured Infrared Technology can be used for clean joining small, medium, and large parts. It is uniquely capable of handling large, 3D-contoured parts that require high mechanical clamp loads and, due to part design constraints, do not allow relative motion between the parts during welding. Polyamide Polycarbonate PMMA Precise plasticization occurs using non-contact heat input by medium-wave, metal-foil emitters that emit the same wavelength spectrum as the absorption range of most common thermoplastics. They are robust,...
