Detect signs of abnormalities in hydraulic oil and sealant by simultaneous measurement of “pressure + temperature”
Problems
-Rising temperatures will reduce the viscosity of hydraulic oil.
-A drop in hydraulic pressure will lead to inconsistent pressing quality.
-The temperature rise of hydraulic oil cannot be detected solely through pressure monitoring.
-Frequent tool changes will cause the temperature of hydraulic oil to rise.
-Aging of pipeline seals will result in hydraulic oil leakage.
-A drop in oil pressure will degrade processing quality.
-Since the hydraulic system is divided into multiple sections, it takes time to locate the positions of aging seals.
Temperature monitoring enables the detection of abnormal signs that may lead to a reduction in the viscosity of hydraulic oil.
Simultaneous monitoring of temperature and pressure at the same location allows for the quantification of optimal ranges for temperature and oil pressure, independent of the experience or skills of maintenance personnel. Temperature monitoring makes it possible to detect abnormal signs that can cause a decrease in the viscosity of sealants. By simultaneously monitoring temperature and pressure, the optimal ranges for temperature and dispensing pressure can be quantified without relying on the experience or skills of maintenance personnel. The sensor makes judgments through monitoring "flow rate + temperature" and "pressure + temperature". Given that data can be output to a PLC via IO-Link communication, maintenance can be easily conducted before an abnormal state occurs. Regarding display colors, three patterns can be set, and when combined with the "not lit" state, a total of four patterns are available.

Flow Sensors
In industrial processes involving the monitoring of gases and liquids, flow sensors and flow meters are critical components for ensuring operational efficiency and preventing disruptions.
What is an air flow sensor?
An air flow sensor, also referred to as a mass air flow sensor, measures the volume of air entering an engine or HVAC system. It plays a vital role in industrial applications by optimizing machinery performance and ensuring precise control of air flow. Through the provision of real-time data, it maintains the required air-fuel ratio, improves energy efficiency, and mitigates potential malfunctions. Future developments will incorporate advanced electronics and IoT connectivity, facilitating the creation of more intelligent industrial environments.
Working principle of flow sensors
Air flow sensors are essential for detecting and measuring the flow velocity of air or gases within a system. They employ various measurement principles adapted to different applications, including:
Mechatronic principle: This principle utilises a spring-supported piston mechanism, where the flowing medium lifts the piston against spring resistance. The position of the piston is monitored to generate an analog signal, enabling accurate airflow measurements.
Ultrasonic principle: Ultrasonic sensors emit sound pulses through the medium and measure the time of flight between transducers. By calculating the time difference, these sensors determine the flow rate with precision, making them suitable for a range of industrial configurations.
Calorimetric principle: Calorimetric sensors, such as the SA and SI types, utilise heat sources and measuring elements to assess flow velocity. By maintaining a constant temperature differential between the elements, these sensors quantify flow rates based on heat dissipation, ensuring consistent and reliable measurements.
