Prevents sudden stops and molding defects due to cooling abnormalities
Multi-sensing technology
[Flow rate] Uses the "Thermal flow rate measurement algorithm". Detect the flow velocity of the fluid by measuring how fast heat is taken from the pulse heated Ta (heated temperature measurement area), and performs flow rate calculations based on the pipe diameter.
[Temp.] Uses the platinum element in Tb (liquid temperature measurement area) to directly measure the liquid temperature.
Welding machine
Problems
[Deformed welding tips and overheated transformers due to cooling performance degradation]
• If the cooling water temperature rises, the welding tip or welding transformer cannot be sufficiently cooled.
• If the welding tip gets overheated and deformed, welding defects occur.
• The welding transformer gets overheated, and the equipment suddenly stops.
• You cannot detect a temperature rise by monitoring temperature alone.
Solution from OMRON
You can detect signs even before welding tip deformation or sudden stops occur
Molding machine
Problems
[Molding defects due to cooling performance degradation]
• Even if the amount of cooling water is adequate, a rise in water temperature leads to a drop in cooling performance.
• If the cooling performance declines, the processed part on the mold cannot be adequately cooled, resulting in deformation, voids, or other molding defects.
• You cannot detect a temperature rise by flow rate monitoring alone.
Solution from OMRON
You can detect signs of cooling performance degradation even before occurrence of molding defects.
Monitor the "flow rate" and "temperature changes" in the same position, and quantify the optimum ranges for flow rate and temperature. You can detect signs of cooling performance degradation without relying on the experience or skills of maintenance personnel.
In addition, by mounting sensors on multiple pipes, you can quickly tell from the sensor LEDs what abnormality has occurred, in which pipe.
Notifications of changes in the cooling water or hydraulic oil states are easy to understand
You can see the cause of the abnormality Multi-sensing display [Patent pending]
The sensor judges by monitoring "Flow rate + Temperature" and "Pressure + Temperature". Since data outputs to a PLC by the IO-Link communications is possible, it is easy to perform maintenance before entering an abnormal state. For the display colors, you can set 3 patterns, or if combined with Not lit, a total of 4 patterns.
You can see the rate of change with a percentage Relative value display
With the flow rate at the time of setting as 100%, you can relatively measure the change in flow rate value. Smart Tuning function is convenient for cases where optimum value management of absolute values is difficult, such as when the operating environment is changing, and liquid types are changing, etc.
You can also see the sensor status Self-diagnostic outputs
Self-diagnoses the sensor's own status, and autonomously sends notification when signs of a connection error or a malfunction appears.
Easy to see High luminosity LED display
A high luminosity LED gives good visibility even at the back of equipment or in dark locations.
Easy to understand Display by unit
Converts to physical quantity units for display.
Adjust the angle according to the mounting position
Angle adjustment up to 330°
After fastening to the adapter, you can adjust the angle so that the display is easy to see.
180° reverse display
The display can rotate 180°.
Easy to use in various location
Compact and space-saving
You can even mount in narrow spaces with multiple pipes arrayed.
Direct setting
Button on the body for quick setting. After setting, you can use the key lock function to prevent operation in error.
Highly durable liquid contact part
Batch setting from host devices
During maintenance, the settings must be the same conditions as when the product was initially mounted. If you use the IO-Link function, you can perform batch setting from a host device. You can manage by quantifying the adjustment that is performed by skilled personnel to avoid affecting the manufacturing quality.
Easy-to-clean structure
Structure is easily removable from the piping for periodic inspections, etc., and easily cleaned.
Expanded cable and adapter lineups (sold separately)*
* Use our dedicated adapters. In addition, if there is a possibility of pulsations or vibrations to a Pressure Sensor, we recommend the attachment of a throttle (sold separately).

*1. Even instantaneous pressure fluctuation such as water hammer must be within the permissible pressure.
*2. The flow rate precision is defined based on the values measured in Omron's pre-shipment adjustment facility using
water at the ordinary temperature (approx. 23°C).
In the ordinary temperature environment (approx. 23°C), install the product with the long side of the chassis
