IFA Technology considers your individual requirements on process and quality monitoring and builds customised viscosity control systems for you. Viscosity control systems are mainly used for monitoring and optimising processes and product quality. In accordance with your needs IFA Technology implements complete plants which are equipped with mixing tanks, dosing units and consumption data acquisition. The viscosity sensors are used as rotation sensors, inline sensors or resonance frequency sensors, depending on the area of application. The connected controller is freely parameterisable and can be connected directly to higher-level control systems via an interface.

Web process control The Qualiscan QMS is a modular system for measuring, logging and controlling critical process parameters over the entire width of the product, including basis weight, coating weight, thickness, moisture etc.

Temperature is one of the most measured physical parameters. Despite this, precise temperature measurement is one of the most difficult tasks in motor technology. To meet the constantly increasing requirements for improved motor performance, higher efficiency and reduced emissions, it is necessary to use reliable and precise sensors in modern motor control systems. The increased requirements over the last few years regarding measurement accuracy and reliability of temperature measurements has meant that many equipment operators must reconsider the suitability and performance capacity of their temperature measurement equipment. Resistant thermometers can be used between -200 °C and +850 °C. An important common property is that their output parameters are available in the form of electric signals that can be relatively easily transferred to measurement and control instruments for processing, storage and display.

What you can see is easier to understand. Therefore we visualise IFA Technology plants and systems with "WinCC", "WinCC Flexible", "WinCC TIA", "InTouch" or "Panelview". Special programs are also possible. These tools provide a reliable interface between the user and the machine (user interface) and allow a quick overview of the most important control parameters of the plant or system. The integrated error reporting system facilitates troubleshooting and reduces the time required for this to a minimum. Language toggling allows the operator to choose between different languages for the user interface.

Automatically controlled systems In automated systems, parts are moved through the plant using a hoist in a fully-automatic, PLC controlled process. The bath parameters, the exposure time for parts in the baths, and the process steps are all saved in the PLC. The system runs through the process fully automatically. Operating personnel are primarily responsible for monitoring the system. Fully automated systems can significantly optimize manufacturing processes for small and large-scale series production through precision and economic efficiency (consumption quantities, energy management).  

Manually controlled systems In manual systems, goods are moved through the system by hand or using a chain hoist. A hardware controller is used to set and monitor the individual bath parameters. Upon request, a small PLC can be installed for regulation and logging purposes. The electroplater sets the exposure time for the individual baths on each bath. The quality of the individual process steps, and therefore the parts themselves, is therefore greatly dependent on the precision of system personnel. Manual systems are used when semi- or fully automated operation would not be reasonable from an economic or technological standpoint.  

The use of a computeraided system is well suited for the control and regulation of distillation and rectification plants the wide range of measurement and regulating tasks, the need for flexibility, ease of operation and a display of the operating parameters make the use of a computer with the relevant software and peripherals appear the ideal solution.

The N3500 (NORIMOS 3500) is our cost-efficient alarm, monitoring and control system for engines and auxiliary systems. The system is based on two central, redundant PC master stations. They collect and monitor the measurement data from the connected I/O modules. With up to 9,000 I/Os, a matching alarm extension system for accommodation and a monitoring display for the bridge, the system can be easily extended and adapted to any application. The N3500 is based on robust components and can be used flexibly: from simple data acquisition systems up to complex alarm and monitoring systems with integrated control functions for pumps, valves and fans.
