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