Multi-sensing technology
[Flow rate] Uses the "Thermal flow rate measurement algorithm". Detect the flow velocity of the fluid by measuring how fast heat is taken from the pulse heated Ta (heated temperature measurement area), and performs flow rate calculations based on the pipe diameter.
[Temp.] Uses the platinum element in Tb (liquid temperature measurement area) to directly measure the liquid temperature.
• If the cooling water temperature rises, the welding tip or welding transformer cannot be sufficiently cooled.
• If the welding tip gets overheated and deformed, welding defects occur.
• The welding transformer gets overheated, and the equipment suddenly stops.
• You cannot detect a temperature rise by monitoring temperature alone.
You can detect signs even before welding tip deformation or sudden stops occur
• Even if the amount of cooling water is adequate, a rise in water temperature leads to a drop in cooling performance.
• If the cooling performance declines, the processed part on the mold cannot be adequately cooled, resulting in deformation, voids, or other molding defects.
• You cannot detect a temperature rise by flow rate monitoring alone.
You can detect signs of cooling performance degradation even before occurrence of molding defects.
Monitor the "flow rate" and "temperature changes" in the same position, and quantify the optimum ranges for flow rate and temperature. You can detect signs of cooling performance degradation without relying on the experience or skills of maintenance personnel.
In addition, by mounting sensors on multiple pipes, you can quickly tell from the sensor LEDs what abnormality has occurred, in which pipe.
The sensor judges by monitoring "Flow rate + Temperature" and "Pressure + Temperature". Since data outputs to a PLC by the IO-Link communications is possible, it is easy to perform maintenance before entering an abnormal state. For the display colors, you can set 3 patterns, or if combined with Not lit, a total of 4 patterns.
With the flow rate at the time of setting as 100%, you can relatively measure the change in flow rate value. Smart Tuning function is convenient for cases where optimum value management of absolute values is difficult, such as when the operating environment is changing, and liquid types are changing, etc.
Self-diagnoses the sensor's own status, and autonomously sends notification when signs of a connection error or a malfunction appears.
A high luminosity LED gives good visibility even at the back of equipment or in dark locations.
Converts to physical quantity units for display.
After fastening to the adapter, you can adjust the angle so that the display is easy to see.
The display can rotate 180°.
You can even mount in narrow spaces with multiple pipes arrayed.
Button on the body for quick setting. After setting, you can use the key lock function to prevent operation in error.
During maintenance, the settings must be the same conditions as when the product was initially mounted. If you use the IO-Link function, you can perform batch setting from a host device. You can manage by quantifying the adjustment that is performed by skilled personnel to avoid affecting the manufacturing quality.
Structure is easily removable from the piping for periodic inspections, etc., and easily cleaned.
* Use our dedicated adapters. In addition, if there is a possibility of pulsations or vibrations to a Pressure Sensor, we recommend the attachment of a throttle (sold separately).
