PHD's Series KG Impact Sensor is used on industrial actuators and other moving parts as an easy-to-use early warning device. When maintenance is needed, the LED simply changes from green to red.
Just-in-time maintenance dramatically increases
productivity and is easy to accomplish with the KG Impact Sensor.
The KG Programmer reads the impact values of a moving part from the KG Impact Sensor and relays those values to the user.
PHD Series KG Impact Sensor Uses:
- Predictive maintenance device
- Detects change in impact force
- Helps reduce unanticipated downtime
- Indicates cushion, flow control, and shock absorber failure
- Minimizes unnecessary preventive maintenance
- Productivity tripwire
- Flags appropriate personnel of machine crash
- Indicates when machine has crashed
