Hyson, a business of Barnes Group Inc., and a provider of nitrogen gas systems for metal forming operations, is expanding its Toolmind Secure Remote Monitoring System Product Line to provide more capabilities for stamping operation control and efficiency.
The Toolmind Remote Monitoring System now includes a base station, handheld reader, and sensor, with the addition of two new sensors and a range extender (Toolmind Repeater).
The Base Station is the heart of the system. It allows users to remotely monitor many tools, each equipped with 12 sensors. With real-time data outputs and alarms, station provides a centralized hub for efficient monitoring—reducing investment costs by consolidating monitoring capabilities into a single Base.
The Toolmind Handheld Reader provides real-time data, without the need to break into the pressure zone. Users can monitor pressure and temperature in the palm of their hand.
Toolmind Expanded Sensor Options now includes:
Sensor 1: The original sensor for general use, it communicates data every 20 seconds.
Sensor 2: A NEW sensor communicating every 40 seconds to extend sensor life while maintaining critical monitoring.
Sensor 3: A NEW sensor that communicates every 0.5 seconds which is ideal for tool try-out and development applications.
The NEW Toolmind Repeater (Range Extender) amplifies the signal between sensors and the Base Station, significantly extending the effective range of Toolmind. Now, customers can monitor tools across larger areas without compromising data accuracy.
Toolmind can play a crucial role in achieving zero scrap goals, the company says. Other product benefits and features include:
Real-Time Control: Toolmind empowers users with real-time data and alarms, allowing for proactive decision-making.
Efficiency: Minimizes downtime and scrap, by identifying issues quickly.
Scalability: From small to large operations, Toolmind grows with customers’ production needs.
Integration: The Base Station integrates with PLCs, providing a built-in shut-down operation, if process limits are exceeded.
