Process Variation Monitor
Process Variation Monitoring For Industrial Applications
Dynamic in-process monitoring - monitor process variation to protect equipment and product quality.
Retrofit to existing machines or integrate on new equipment.
Fundamental theory behind PVM:
If a process (including inputs, force, and tooling) is known to be capable of producing only good parts, and the process is consistent and repeatable, then the output of good parts should be consistent also. It's simply about determining the quality and stability of the process.
Key Features:
- In-process monitoring of 100% of parts
- Stand alone monitor - easy to retrofit on existing equipment
- Monitor machine cycle to capture process variance.
- Programmable tolerance limits
- Two failure mode outputs (Warning and Fault)
- Ease of set-up and operation
- Menu-driven navigation
- Automatic calculation of tolerance limits
- Password protection
- Assignable levels of authority and control
- Companion software
- Production logging for reporting and traceability
- Real-time data capture
Capabilities:
- Detection of process variation that may lead to product quality issues
- Capture defects before more manufacturing value is added
- Machinery out of adjustment
- Detection of process variation that may lead to equipment failure
- Continuous process feedback – to help improve efficiency
- Lubrication issues, equipment out of adjustment, tool wear monitoring, set-up verification, etc.
- Interruption of process to help prevent catastrophic damage to the machine and isolate defective product
