Interface
By providing an exact kiln position measurement the KPE allows for compensation of the potential variations in kiln speed due to uneven coating build-up in the kiln. In the unlikely event that the KPE fails, the system will automatically operate from the kiln pulse signal if available.
The protective double-wall, stainless-steel scanner cabinet offers ample space for easy and open access to components. It is air-pressurised to maintain temperature below 50°C, to avoid dust entry, and maintain a dust-free viewing window. An electro-magnetic shutter automatically closes this window in case of power failure. The air is provided by an integrated high-power filter fan, which avoids the use of costly plant compressed air. The cabinet is finally equipped with temperature and pressure sensors which can be monitored via the software diagnostic facilities.
The system comes with a number of predefined views covering the most typical needs e.g. a temperature image / temperature profile view and a diagnostic view for scanner and communications status
Historical database
- storage of images and profiles
- short (5min) medium(1h) and long term(24h) horizons
