OMRON has launched the new\u00a0K7TM condition monitor<\/a>\u00a0for heater equipment used especially in automotive and FMCG industries. The K7TM visualizes deterioration tendencies to enable predictive maintenance and contributes to the realization of a carbon-free society.<\/p>\n

At manufacturing sites, sudden equipment failure leads to unplanned downtime and has a major impact on the productivity of the entire plant. Condition monitoring devices from OMRON combine powerful sensing technology with algorithms to detect abnormal conditions. These devices can be easily attached to existing equipment.<\/p>\n

The new K7TM from OMRON enables automatic measurement of the appropriate resistance value*\u00b9\u00a0of the heater while in operation and visualizes the deterioration tendency of the heater. By accumulating rate-of-change data of resistance values for each heater, maintenance activities can be timed in advance according to the heater status. This minimizes production downtime associated with regular heater maintenance. Reducing the thermal energy needed during a restart also helps minimize the energy loss from the heaters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As the new K7TM can constantly measure the electric power consumed by each heater, combined with temperature data, it helps detect event the slightest signs of abnormal conditions in the facility. This contributes to maintaining the optimum conditions for ensuring product quality. Sudden heater failures can be eliminated, while reducing energy consumption in production, contributing to CO2 reduction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Heater equipment that operates at high temperatures is more likely to experience unplanned downtime due to heater burnout. Preventing burnout requires the heater\u2019s condition to be monitored, which was previously a time consuming and costly task, which can now be automated with the\u00a0K7TM.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
