Abstract

The present invention relates to an analysis device (10) for analyzing a thermoforming process in a thermoforming laminating device (20), wherein the analysis device (10) comprises a pressure housing (17) having a pressure resistance of up to 5 bar. At least one image recording device (12) that is connected to a data storage device (13) and one lighting device (11) is disposed in the pressure housing. A lens (12′) of the image recording device (12) is disposed adjacent to a light outlet opening (11) of the lighting device (11) in a housing wall of the housing (17), and the analysis device (10) comprises a temperature resistance of at least up to 50° C. The invention further relates to an analysis method for analyzing thermoforming processes in a thermoforming laminating device that can be performed by means of the analysis device (10) according to the invention.
