K7TM-A2 monitors the degradation of electrical heaters, avoiding costly unplanned downtime due to heaters’ failure and allowing to plan their replacement before their degradation negatively impact the quality of products and process.
Main industries suffering of these issues are production of semiconductors, plastic molding (injection molding, thermoforming, blow molding) and electric furnaces or driers, where impaired performance of heaters or their unexpected burnout cause severe loss of productivity, material scrap and major machine downtime.
Automatic measurement of the heating degradation during operation, triggering warnings and alarms are triggered when a certain threshold is reached.
Easy retrofit of existing machinery (all in panel)
Usable either as stand alone device or connected to a PLC
Features
Measurement method
K7TM can monitor the health and trend of the heater based on the rate of change of resistance value, allowing it to determine when replacement is required to utilize the remaining lifetime. Downtimes are reduced and maintenance independent of specialists is possible.
