dataTaker Solution By using the dataTaker DT605 data logging system to monitor temperature, weld pressure, weld current and voltage to provide a complete profile of each weld. The DT605 incorporates a key panel and an LCD display for channel data alarms, battery status and data capacity. Variances from pre-set levels are pinpointed and alarmed to enable operators to take preventative action before a weld problem occurred. Weld profiles are stored for retrieval or printed out, allowing the client to analyze performance and maintain quality. The DT605 can be tailored to meet a wide variety of needs. The internal data storage gives approximately 165,000 data points of recording. SRAM PC card memory can be upgraded to 4MB for greater flexibility and speed of operation and Flash memory firmware can be updated direct form the PC. The DT605 has up to 30 analogue channels, seven digital and counter channels and expansion ports for up to two expansion modules each with 30 analogue channels. |
