Delphin TopMessage for Real-Time Monitoring CHESTERLAND OH—May 10, 2012
CAS DataLoggers recently provided the data acquisition solution for a leading German manufacturer developing and producing marine diesel engines and compact turbochargers enabling optimal levels of performance, fuel consumption and emissions. Their high- performance components were manufactured in-house and then sent to the plant’s test benches, where the turbochargers were subjected to high levels of thermal and mechanical stresses, including rotating up to 90,000 RPM, exposure to temperatures of up to 750ºC, and a 5.0 pressure ratio.

ADwin-Light-16 Real Time Data Acquisition System CHESTERLAND OH—May 07, 2012
CAS DataLoggers recently provided the real-time data acquisition solution for an automotive manufacturer using metal stamping presses to shape their torque converters. Stamping was used to create a series of indentations that held metal vanes used to transmit the power from the engine to the transmission though a fluid. Hydraulic cylinders were used to force a hardened punch into the metal which was displaced into a corresponding die, creating 136 separate indentations. However, the punches, being extremely hard, were occasionally subject to breakage. In this automated environment, where

Delphin TopMessage DAQ System for Vibration and Process Monitoring CHESTERLAND OH—May 2, 2012
CAS DataLoggers recently provided the data acquisition solution for a hydropower plant setting up hydro turbine condition monitoring for preventative maintenance. Personnel worked without any clear indications of the hydro turbine’s status for detection of developing equipment problems that could help safeguard against critical damage. Therefore management needed to monitor and analyze various plant parameters including shaft vibration measurement, bearing vibration measurement, generator air gap measurement, and plant process signals including mV, mA, RTD, TC, pulse, PLC communication data, etc. Read more on our applications

Delphin TopMessage Provides Data Acquisition and Evaluation CHESTERLAND OH—March 27, 2012
CAS DataLoggers recently provided the data acquisition and evaluation solution for a magnet producer which needed to increase manufacturing quality and thereby decrease the need for expensive reworking. The factory’s permanent magnets were used in many fields, for example in the auto industry, in sensor technology and in medical applications. The manufacture of these magnets required several specialized processes such as powder processing, pressing, sintering, and then the actual manufacture. It was critical to manufacture the magnets to the correct precision to reduce the need for any

Delphin TopMessage Modular Data Acquisition System
CHESTERLAND OH—March 12, 2012
CAS DataLoggers recently provided the data acquisition and control solution for a large manufacturer of valve systems for use in many different industries. The company produced ball, needle, choke, control, gate, and other types of valve systems of many different diameters. One of its customers was a refinery using a special 3-way switching valve in order to direct oil flow into different coking towers. However, the operation of the valve was periodically unreliable and caused costly shutdowns in the refining process. Therefore a reliable monitoring solution capable of

ADwin-Gold Real-Time Data Acquisition System CHESTERLAND OH—March 5, 2012
CAS DataLoggers recently supplied the data acquisition and control solution for a prominent manufacturer of material used in the aviation and aerospace industries. Characterizing the growth rate of cracks in metal samples under repeated cyclical stress was critical to the customer: typically, a material test system incorporating a closed loop servo-hydraulic system was employed to apply a repetitive stress to the sample while the growth rate was monitored by one of several methods. Variable amplitude-loading, conventional closed-loop servohydraulic systems using simple PID control were employed but became very difficult

Delphin TopMessage Modular Data Acquisition System CHESTERLAND OH—February 15, 2012
CAS DataLoggers recently supplied the data acquisition solution for a customer specializing in providing water purification filter systems and cartridges for industrial and household applications. These filter cartridges were widely used to improve water quality and taste, especially for coffee vending machines but including even large industrial plants. The filter material acted to reduce the water’s calcium content, balancing its pH level and binding other metallic ions. The filter granule material itself was developed in the customer’s R&D lab for each specific filter and purification treatment application individually,
