Monitoring the UK's first "Lean Line"
Six month payback is expected following the installation of HBM monitoring equipment for the press-fit routines in a new type of automated production line.
The software automatically recognises amplifiers, configures channels, defines measurement parameters and acquires and saves measurement data.
Catman Easy automatically recognises TEDS transducers.
Once an amplifier is detected, the existing channels are connected and scanned for TEDS transducers which then automatically configure the amplifier.
A sensor database, comprising all HBM transducers and typical sensors such as thermocouples and PTs, is used to manually assign a transducer type to each measurement channel if TEDS transducers are not included in the system.
This database can easily be modified and expanded by the end user to give greater flexibility.
Catman Easy is provided with a wizard that uses defined measurement parameters, such as sampling rate and potential triggers, to provide the user with a preset panel for displaying measured values.
Alternatively, a user-defined panel can be quickly created and configured with a variety of instrument toolbar such as stripcharts, digital indicators, and bargraph indicators.
Catman Easy replaces the previous catman Express and is part of the catman Professional 5.0 suite.
Existing catman customers will only need an inexpensive update to benefit from catman Easy.
A demo version of the new software can be downloaded from HBM's website.
HBM is giving away a presentation box containing a demonstration CD of its latest software, catman Easy, along with other goodies, to the first 75 people in the UK that apply. Request a free brochure from HBM UK ...
