Temperature monitoring
The right temperature is an important component when it comes to the proper functioning of your machines. Our temperature sensors, in combination with CMTK hardware and software, offer you the ideal monitoring choice for heat and cold in your company.
The sensors can be placed in numerous locations to measure, for example, the contact temperature on important components such as spindles, bearings or motors, but also temperatures of liquids. The CMTK system warns you of deviations from the limit values you define and helps you save costs and prevent machine downtimes by making maintenance plannable in advance. The CMTK is the ideal solution for temperature monitoring or general condition monitoring.
Monitoring hydraulic power units
In industry, hydraulic systems have a fixed temperature that must not be exceeded in a hydraulic unit. If these are operated with water-based fluids, for example, increased temperatures will cause the power unit to fail, as the water will evaporate above a certain temperature.
That is why it is so important to set a limit value and monitor the temperature so that you can take timely action if the limit value is exceeded and avoid the worst case scenario. Warnings, e.g. by e-mail, ensure that monitoring is maintained even when the machine is unstaffed. Data records also make it possible to trace the beginning of the fault.
Temperature monitoring for machine tools
Temperature changes are known to be one of the main sources of error in manufacturing technology. The ambient temperature plays a role, but much more important is the internal temperature of individual machine parts. Defects and wear are usually indicated by changes in the machine's behavior, with a change in temperature being the first sign of a problem.
This is where temperature monitoring specifically comes into play as a solution. The CMTK system from Balluff measures the temperature conditions and visualizes the collected data for you. The software visualizes the information and tracks the machine condition based on definable characteristic values so that corrective action can be taken at an early stage.
Condition monitoring at extreme temperatures
To enable temperature monitoring even in environments of great heat or cold, Balluff offers you a selection of temperature-resistant sensors. Connect these sensors to your machines and systems and benefit from convenient monitoring of your machine condition.
