| On-machine
data collection/display devices: MDT
A Machine Data Transducer (MDT) is a data collection
device (with or without an Operator Interface)
that easily installs on any machine. Using existing
electrical signals in the machine, the MDT units
communicate with our ProductionAce Windows software
to display real-time data such as:
| Cycle Time
|
Avg. Cycle Time
|
Machine Rate
|
Production Rate
|
|
Run Time
|
Down Time
|
Set Up Time
|
Trial/Adjust Time
|
|
Good Parts
|
Reject Parts
|
Parts to go for job
|
Hours to go for job
|
| Analog Process Variables:
|
Temperatures, pressures, tonnage, force, position, liquid consumption, etc.
|
|
Time Process Variables:
|
Dwell, duration, fill, form, inject, hold time, etc.
|
|
Down Time Tracking:
|
Up to 40 Down Reasons, both operator entered and though direct machine connection.
|
|
Reject Tracking:
|
Up to 20 Reject Reasons Operator entered, plus an automatic Reject Input.
|
|
|
|
There are three basic models of MDT with a variety of capabilities, and they can all be incorporated
into a ProductionACE system. This unique functionality allows you to match individual machine data
collection, data display and Operator interface needs to the appropriate MDT for the most cost-effective
system available.
