      Process control and monitoring systems for research and industry

      Make the processes in your production or research facility visible! AMC offers you support in the planning and implementation of high-availability process control systems. Several such systems have been successfully implemented so far. Use cases are long-term tests in research facilities or the visualization of continuous production processes in industrial facilities. AMC installed turnkey complete systems using high-availability PLC technology in connection with redundant server technology with central cluster-shared storage. Furthermore, with the help of decentralized peripherals, special sensors and actuators of vacuum and cryogenics were integrated into the process control and data acquisition. The visualization of the process control was carried out using the most modern, web-based technologies, which were adapted to customer requirements. These systems are characterized by the following system properties: • Redundant server technology with Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server • Central, large storage unit for data storage • Flexible visualization of all recorded channels as well as report views • Integration of extensive special sensors and actuators, for example from vacuum or cryogenics • Data storage in a central Microsoft SQL Server database, alarms by email or SMS • Web-based technologies for mobile access to the data • Artificial intelligence integrated into the process control system with the following tasks: process diagnostics, system monitoring / maintenance forecasts, quality forecasts for continuous production processes. AMC implements an automatic control of different parts of the plant, so that an uninterrupted operation of the plants, a complete data recording as well as a modern, web-based visualization of the process steps and plant sensors is guaranteed for the operator.

    3. Process monitoring From standard bearing to sensor

      Process monitoring From standard bearing to sensor

      Precise control is a challenge, especially in dynamic processes. This is why measuring bearing forces is of great interest to system operators. Little space for additional measurement technology According to the current state of the art, external force sensors can be used for this purpose. The biggest disadvantage of this technology is that the sensor technology must be taken into account in the design process of the system. While the lack of installation space is often a problem for new designs, it is almost always a problem for retrofits, which entails very complex design changes. The ideal solution is a load monitoring technology that offers the same functionality as conventional force sensors without the need for additional installation space. Our solution The sensor bearing from HCP Sense meets precisely these requirements. As we use the electrical properties of the roller bearing itself, no external sensors are required. Only one electrical contact, one on the rotating and one on the stationary part of the system, is sufficient. The basic functional principle Each individual contact between a rolling element and the inner or outer ring can be regarded as a plate capacitor consisting of two metal surfaces (inner or outer ring and rolling element) and the lubricant between them, which acts as a dielectric. Depending on the load, a different lubricating film thickness and a different capacitor surface are formed due to the Hertzian pressure. These variables can be recorded with our measurement technology in the form of different electrical impedances and allow direct conclusions to be drawn about the bearing forces. Your advantages • Monitor processes directly by analyzing the force flow • Understand process forces and use them for control • Condition monitoring of tools • Online monitoring of product quality • Achieve maximum efficiency • Improve design and validate simulation models

    4. Process sensors / process control

      Process sensors / process control

      Products for quick and simple monitoring of process-relevant parameters. These include temperatures, flow rates, consumption values, deviations or leakages of liquids, gases or pressures. Flow sensors: media-independent monitoring of the flow rate or flow quantity. Flow sensors are used for monitoring flow rates and flow quantities. KEYENCE's flow sensors can be installed without interfering with the pipe system by simply clamping the sensors to the pipe from the outside. Depending on the model, the flow sensors can detect liquids or compressed air and gases and monitor them in a process-stable manner. Pressure and air pressure sensors: pressure monitoring in pneumatic and hydraulic systems Pressure sensors can measure the pressure of various media (gases and liquids). Since a pressure sensor can measure the pressure in the pipe of a system or device during operation, value-based condition discrimination is possible. Compared to pressure gauges, the compact pressure sensors offer greater installation flexibility. In addition to pressure readings on the main unit or amplifier, connecting the sensor to a PLC or computer allows remote monitoring of measurements from multiple pressure sensors. The data collected by the pressure sensors is also useful for trend analysis and predictive maintenance. Temperature sensors: Non-contact or clamp-on temperature sensors for a wide variety of temperature measurement types up to 1350°C. Component as well as media temperatures can represent important information in the ongoing production process. Our temperature sensors can record data easily and without touching the medium/component.
