In June 2022, Omron Automation (China) Co., Ltd.'s new product [Heater Status Monitor K7TM] was officially released. Without going to the site, through real-time monitoring of heater status, the aging trend of heater equipment that cannot be captured manually is clearly displayed, and predictive maintenance is realized!
Using a heater in a high-temperature environment can cause the heater to break, resulting in equipment downtime or obsolete workpieces, and manufacturing costs to rise.
Problems caused by heater disconnection
In order to prevent sudden stops of such equipment, the status of the heater must be monitored at all times. If there is no suitable monitoring method, regular maintenance can only be carried out by increasing labor and component costs.
Solve on-site issues with condition monitoring,
Realize the new · three-present doctrine
To realize the new · Three Realities Doctrine, we are faced with three major issues. First of all, in order to properly monitor the physical object, it is necessary to translate the technique, intuition, skill, and experience of skilled maintenance personnel in detecting minor anomalies into numerical parameters. Second, it is important to simply retrofit the sensing device into an existing device. Finally, in order to grasp the status of the object through remote monitoring, it is necessary to convert the acquired data into easy-to-understand visual information, visualize the information, and avoid human variations.
In response to the challenges at the production site, Omron has created a series of new maintenance solutions and products by utilizing the various sensing technologies it has cultivated over many years. Craftsman-level expertise is incorporated into measurement equipment with digital technology that can be easily retrofitted to existing production sites, and Omron also offers remote monitoring tools to visualize the status of the equipment and make it easier to grasp. The three values contribute to the realization of the new · three realities at the production site.
Heater status monitor K7TM
Predictive maintenance based on condition monitoring
Omron's newly released "Heater Status Monitor K7TM" is a core product that solves the problem of monitoring at production sites, and can measure the resistance value of metal resistance heaters on a detailed and reasonable basis, and monitor resistance changes due to aging in a chronological manner, regardless of the control method or the temperature characteristics of the heater. Therefore, for heating equipment that is typically maintained after the fact or on a regular basis, predictive maintenance can be achieved by detecting changes in heater resistance over time, reducing unplanned equipment stoppages or incurring ineffective costs due to heater disconnection.
By monitoring the heater status in real time,
predictive maintenance is possible
Reduce equipment downtime or workpiece obsolescence costs, and eliminate spare parts maintenance and management costs
When obtaining the resistance value of the heater, it is not possible to accurately capture the aging trend of the resistance value of the heater based on the voltage ÷ current alone due to the influence of the temperature control method and the temperature characteristics of the heater.
K7TM Measurement Method:
The K7TM calculates the rate of change of the resistance value (standard resistance value) based on the resistance value of the heater at the time of replacement (standard resistance value) and the current heater resistance value, which is used as an indicator to measure the aging trend.
Heater temperature and resistance value change (long-term)
Temperature control is able to maintain a stable heater temperature, but as the equipment ages, the heater resistance value increases.
With a network connection, you don't need to go to the site regularly, you can remotely monitor the status of your equipment and keep track of your data without leaving the office.
Simple retrofitting of existing equipment
The CT (Current Transformer) is clamped to the cable connected to the heater, the current is measured, and the heater can be monitored by simply connecting the voltage lines between the heaters.
Predictive maintenance based on heater condition
The degree of aging is judged according to the resistance value of the heater to improve the maintenance quality
By monitoring the heater status of the equipment, the K7TM is able to grasp the aging trend of each heater and replace the heater that is aging rapidly. It improves the operating efficiency of the plant and reduces maintenance costs.
Set a threshold for the rate of change of the heater's resistance value to determine a reasonable time for replacement
By monitoring the rate of change in the resistance value of the heater, the K7TM captures aging trends and sets thresholds based on the rate of change of the heater that is at increased risk of disconnection, so that maintenance can be carried out at the right time without relying on personal experience.
Omron [Heater Status Monitor K7TM] upgrades the after-maintenance or regular maintenance of heater equipment to predictive maintenance based on heater condition monitoring, visualizes the equipment status, makes it easier to grasp, and clearly presents the aging trend of heater equipment that cannot be captured manually!
