Hi Everyone
long story short
I have lots of left over pieces of HDPE 2" Poly pipe but instead of throwing the poly away I figured
I could try making a poly mold ejector ...so I did and it kinda worked but needs to be better
I'll take some pictures for future when i get a chance but i'm using these high temp sensors
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1Pc-SPI-MAX6675-Module-K-Type-Thermocouple-Temperature-Sensor-for-Arduino/292377488226?epid=2131218021&hash=item44130e6b62
and when I connect them(sensors) to my ejector and have the sensors touch the mold metal they don't sense the temperature
so I have the sensors held in the air next to the metal with out touching any metal ...and since i'm trying to read the temp of the metal where the poly needs to melt, my question is ...do they make some sort of contact silcon I can put inbetween the sensor and metal so the high temp sensor will work?
then I can control all the heat from a picaxe 20m2 or the best chip in my words 20X2
I'm running temperatures at around 430F to 600F....so in other words
poly melts at around 400 degrees F (I will have to adjust the temp per speed of poly running thru)
in a cylinder metal pipe I plan on using 5 - 10 electric elements and use 5- 10 high sensors so the picaxe can/will keep perfect temp
at each section of heat pipe for melting down the poly
and at the end of the day I can make whatever I want with poly...then sell it and buy more picaxe chips .....I mean
buy more 20X2 picaxe chips.
