temp-gard basic System
System Overview
Permanently installed fixed point thermocouples provide a very localized indication of oven
operation, but do not reflect temperatures as experienced by the product. Designed
specifically for use in the general coating and finishing industry the temp-gard basic
system provides an effective solution to the difficult, but essential task of profiling both
product and oven temperatures during normal operation.
The system hardware comprises Thermocouple Temperature Transducers (Probes), a
Data Logger and a Thermal Barrier. The combination resulting in a self-contained data
acquisition system, which travels through the process monitoring product and ambient
temperature, without trailing cables.
The easy to use Windows
®
based temp-chart (optional) software provides powerful,
sophisticated analytical tools operating as both a quality inspection tool, and an
investigative diagnostic tool. In the inspection role, it allows comparison of current
temperature characteristics with previously stored reference and target curves to detect
operating abnormalities. In the diagnostic role, its innovative analysis techniques help to
identify problems, fine tune the process and reduce running costs.
A printer interface (optional) permits direct output of charts/peak values to a Canon
printer.
The following sections describe hardware suitable for oven profiling applications.
