September 24, 2009 - A new, easy to install and operate viscosity and temperature control system that has no moving parts, is maintenance-free, and is compatible with any PLC is being introduced by Norcross Corporation of Newton, Massachusetts.The ViscSense Viscosity Control System features an intuitive touch screen controller and employs a compact acoustic wave sensor that can be installed in-line within a process, regardless of orientation, to continuously monitor viscosity and temperature. Unaffected by flow or vibration, this viscosity control system has no moving parts and can measure low shear viscosities from 0 to 600 CPS and temperatures to 220°F, depending upon the material.
Providing on-the-fly readouts in any cup value, the ViscSense Viscosity Control System is suitable for use with low viscosity coatings or inks and applications with from one to 10 stations. Compatible with any PLC, the controller operates on 24 VDC and provides 4-20 mA, RS232, and CANBUS outputs.
The sensor weighs 8 oz. and has a 1/2 NPT pipe connection.The ViscSense Viscosity Control System is priced from $8,995.00 complete with a controller and from $5,495.00 for the sensor and interface.
