DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE OF A MOLD USING A LASER BEAM

摘要

The invention relates to a device for controlling the temperature of a mold (1) for manufacturing a plastic part (8). Said device comprises means (100) for heating the molding surface and including at least one radiation head (112). The heating means (100) include a heat exchange plate (120) made of a heat-conductive material and arranged such as to be in contact with a localized area (130) of the wall (4a, 4b) of the mold (1). The radiation head (112) is capable of controlling the temperature of the heat exchange plate (120) by emitting a beam (114) of rays that is directed toward the heat exchange plate (120). Moreover, the invention relates to a method for controlling the temperature of a mold for manufacturing a plastic part (8).
