New line of systems from SIF
SIFMDC Measuring Devices Control is launching a new line of control and measurement systems
for electrical wire and piping production lines. The systems are the result of meticulous
planning and extensive research and development into satisfying specific customer
requirements.
SIF’s new ‘STM’, mistakenly identified as a spark tester, is actually an
advanced control system designed for the in-line testing of the defective
insulation of wires and piping. Its highly innovative functions allow
excellent testing performance, which offers outstanding product quality
and a considerable saving. Developed using microprocessor technology,
the STM system guarantees a high level of immunity to noises thanks to a
design that groups all of its parts into a single unit: module for generation,
regulation and control of frequency, which runs on AC from 50Hz to 3kHz
or DC, and a test voltage from 0 to 40kV; module for processing signals,
faults, signal I/O, analogue (0-10V or 0-20mA) and digital (RS232 e RS485)
communication interfaces; control panel with operator interface module;
chain or brush-based probe with protective casing and safety switch.
Using the five-button operator interface, the user can access a software menu
to configure the numerous system functions and test parameters. Through
its innovative HPS function, the new ‘STM’ optimises system performance and allows the user to investigate faults, guaranteeing
excellent product quality and a substantial saving thanks to the reduced operator intervention time due to non-existent defects.
The STM system can be set to different configurations:
• controlled locally through the on-board operator interface
• controlled remotely via RS485, with on-board operator interface
• controlled via remote operator interface
• controlled remotely via RS485, without operator interface
