The new Grant oven monitoring system offers a complete solution to temperature profiling and quality control in the coatings industry! The new Grant OMK610 oven monitoring system is a simple to use, affordable and flexible solution for measuring that the paint and powder coating process is efficient and correct.

Designed to accurately record the oven temperature profile with the same ease and speed of the original Grant paper recorder, the new OMK610 system sets new standards in temperature profiling.

At the heart of the system is a new small compact 6 channel data logger that can be used with or without a PC.

It couldn't be simpler to set-up and use; just power up the logger, connect the temperature probes, place in the thermal barrier and pass through the conveyor oven, making it very easy for production personnel to set-up without ever connecting to a PC.

Not only is it simple to set-up from the front panel but results can be printed immediately the data logger exits the oven giving an instant record for Quality Control purposes.

Just connect the data logger to a USB printer, press the print button and get an immediate report showing cure times, batch details and the actual temperature profile as a graph.

Once the report is printed the logger is ready to go through the oven again to monitor the next batch of products.

No need to download or clear the data.

The logger has enough memory to be passed through the process up to 8 times before needing to have its memory cleared from the front panel or be downloaded to a PC.

If more detailed analysis is needed then the data logger can be downloaded to a PC using the PaintView software, which has been designed specifically for the paint and finishing industries.

PaintView provides quick detailed analysis with user defined templates and reports along with an automatic cure calculation based on paint manufacturers specified cure temperature times.

This makes it easy for the user to make a rapid pass/fail decision on each batch of products for quality control purposes and produce reports for compliance and traceability.

Alternatively data can be exported into Excel or other third party Quality Control or analysis software.

Other key features include intelligent triggering ensuring only valid data is collected, a unique universal temperature probe that can measure both surface and air temperature and different definable temperature reading rates of up to 8 readings per second to suit different ovens and processes.

This flexibility allows the OMK610 monitoring systems to not only monitor the efficiency of the coating cure process but also to optimise the oven settings for maximum productivity, energy conservation and reduced costs.

The OMK610 comes as a complete kit comprising data logger, a small compact and light thermal barrier, temperature probes, transport case, software and USB cable.
