Engineered Quality & Durability
Sensortech is unique in its ability to deliver dependable performance through its advanced NIR technology, leading edge manufacturing processes, and comprehensive testing and quality control standards. An emphasis on durability has been placed on the NIR Series during its development in order to bring Sensortech’s high standard of performance to industrial applications.
Process Control
Every analyzer in the NIR Series is equipped with a variety of communication protocols designed to operate in your distributed process control system. Moreover, each analyzer may operate independently with Sensortech’s Digital Panel Meter (DPM), Touch Operator Interface (OI), or third party peripheral devices.
Software Diagnostics
Intuitive Management Software provides an added benefit to the functionality of every analyzer. Our proprietary software package easily installs on your PC and offers an accelerated view of your production process. Among the many features of this powerful software package include: general measurement readings, data-logging, calibration utilities, and analyzer configurations.
Near Infrared Reflectance
Sensortech filters a quartz halogen light source into a series of pulses of specific wavelengths. The filtered beam of wavelengths is directed onto the surface of your product and measures the reflected energy against a reference source. The constituent being measured, typically moisture, is calculated through a specialized amplitude ratio algorithm providing a precision measurement based on your products molecular structure.
MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Sensortech’s software diagnostics package offers an expansive range of management resources. These resources provide the ability to configure your analyzer for optimal performance and to thoroughly monitor and analyze your manufacturing process.
Measurement Display
The NIR Management Software supplies an operator with the capability of monitoring up to three measured constituents in addition to a temperature display. A trend plot is displayed for a visual convenience giving the ability to immediately spot production issues and to take corrective action.
Calibration Utilities
The calibration utilities allow you to adjust, fine-tune, or recalibrate your analyzer. It is recommended to consult Sensortech for guidance when employing this powerful feature.
Data-Logging
Data-logging is a useful tool for engineers requiring historical data for statistical analysis. The measurement data is saved to a file that can be viewed by Microsoft Excel or similar programs.
Analyzer Configuration
Many features of the Management Software are dedicated to configuring your analyzer to your requirements. Configurations such as setting the communication protocols, measuring methods, sampling settings, scaling parameters, measurement damping and filtering, and network parameters are among the features available in the Management Software. You have the option to save your configuration settings to a file and reload it at a later date.
Additionally, you may store up to 50 separate product calibrations using any of the available constituents pre-installed on your analyzer.
