Conveyor multi-point condition monitoring
Electro-Sensors has introduced the Electro-Guard Hazard Monitoring System, which combines shaft speed, belt alignment and bearing temperature measurement all into a single conveyor monitoring solution
The monitor is available in 2 models, the SG1000A which provides a 4-20mA analogue output, and the SG1000DN, which interfaces with DeviceNet networks.
Either model can be installed on a wide range of gate sizes providing a "one size fits all" capability.
When installed, the monitor provides feedback to an external device (PLC) or an optional remote Slide Gate Display.
Capable of measuring the slide gate or valve position between 0 and 100%, the SG1000 enables more efficient process control and safety, guarding against machine failure, product waste, or process downtime.
The SG1000 is easy to install and calibrate and offers the ruggedness and versatility that many other gate/valve monitors lack.
The SG1000 is housed in a rugged explosion proof cast aluminium housing that is dirt, dust, grease, and water proof.
Electro-Sensors is a leading manufacturer of machine monitoring and motor control technologies worldwide.
