temp-gard 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 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 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 allows the user to generate and customize reports, highlighting the
relevant data.
The following sections describe hardware suitable for oven profiling applications.
