Optical probes check moulding materials in process
Sapphire window optical process probes fit into standard transducer ports on extruders, injection moulding machines o allow on-line spectroscopic analysis of a wide range of materials.
The unit offers superior performance, said Aalborg to manufacturingtalk.com, as it can store calibration data for one to 10 gases and conversion factors for up to 32 gases.
Accuracy is +/-1% of FS at calibration temperature and pressure.
The XFM's automatic sensor zero offset adjustment can be activated locally with a maintenance push button or remotely via digital interface.
Digital command technology starts, reads, or saves the current auto zero value.
* Aluminium or SS - additional XFM features include aluminum and stainless steel models, digital interface RS485, RS231 (with or without LCD displays), and optional Profibus DP (with I and M functionality).
Also available are programmable totalizer, high/low flow alarms, self-diagnostic tests, 23 different volumetric flow or engineering units and internal or user-specific K-factors.
Aalborg's XFM Digital Thermal Mass Flow Meters are NIST traceably calibrated, individually programmed and manufactured in Aalborg's ISO 9001 Certified Facility.
