Device for heating components 8, 8' of a microwave-absorbing plastic material, said device incorporating a microwave generator 1 which generates microwaves of a particular frequency, an antenna 4 with at least one free end 5, 5' to which the microwaves are conducted, and an enclosure 6 surrounding and shielding the antenna 4, with a heating zone 9, 9' provided between the free end 5, 5' of the antenna 4 and the shielding enclosure 6 for the localized heating of the components 8, 8', said device featuring in the area of the heating zone 9, 9' at least one temperature sensor 11, 11' which is interactively unaffected by the microwaves and which is capable of determining the temperature of the component 8, 8' during the heating process. This device in combination with the associated process for heating components 8, 8' permits the monitoring of the temperature in the heating zone 9, 9', thus ensuring a consistent quality level of the heated components.
