Offer Profile
The best ideas are
ingeniously simple. We recognise your problem and solve it in a manner which
is technologically of high quality and economically efficient. A compact
solution which operates directly as part of the process. A super-fast
solution, because it is conceived with the latest in digital signal
processors or microcontroller technology.
Intelligent sensors do not simply recognise signals, but are also able to
process and classify them. Sensors like this can take over control tasks and
so save you buying costly peripherals.
The intelligence is in the sensor - simply ingenious.

Product Line Up

Why acoustic sensors?
Equipment for industrial quality testing is often
expensive, difficult to install, requires frequent and often difficult
maintenance, and is not applicable in many areas. The dsound® USS4 "hears"
small changes of sound emitted by small parts or glass containers. Even the
tiniest faults, like cracks, inclusions or geometry deviations are reliably
detected despite intense ambient noise. Using the means of sound detection,
high enclosure class and the compact housing of the sensor; quality testing
is now possible in areas where other methods, like for example cameras fail.
You will be amazed by the intelligent USS4.
A deviation from the usual sounds of a production process is often the first
sign of an operational fault such as ripping material, breaking tools or
bursting pressure hoses. With the help of the dsound® USS5, machines and
processes can be reliably monitored acoustically. Additionally, assessments
of valve- or relay states or snapped-in parts in assembly are viable. If the
need arises, the USS5 is able to intervene in the event of unwanted
ignitions or emerging leakage. The USS5 provides security to critical
processes.

application classes
- noise and operating test
- material testing
- process monitoring
- recording and documentation

 |
place of installation
Use directly in manufacturing process or in remote test
processes with airborne sound or structure-borne sound sensor technology
even in an environment that is dust-laden or affected by water splashes,
with increased demands even in remote models e.g. for use with elevated
temperatures.
|
 |
testing materials
The sensor is best suited for materials with a low level
of internal damping (metal, glass, ceramics etc). Thus the sensor can, for
example, be used directly on production equipment for quality control.
|
 |
examples of use
- "Good / bad" - discriminating between screws
- Monitoring of rotating machine parts
- Monitoring of the sharpness of tools with CNC machines
- Counting and sorting of small parts
- Monitoring of possibly emanating gases or fluids
- Testing of anomalies and cracks in ceramic parts

Universal Communication Terminal „UCT1"
Panel-PC 4,8"

New 4.8" panel PC designed as add-on module for dsound
sound sensors.
The UTC1 Windows tablet PC with a 4.8" touch display is the latest
development from DC Automation GmbH. It serves as a frontend for our USS4
dsound series sound sensors and as a control unit for production machinery
and plants.
In conjunction with dsound sensors, it allows for the extension of sound
identification systems, including re-teaching upon batch changes. It is thus
possible to adjust the sound identification to changing parameters.
The UTC1 tablet PC is extremely compact, comes with a Windows operating
system and is equipped for top-hat rail installation. This means that the
device can be used for a wide range of applications. For communication with
other systems, it is equipped with USB, LAN, CAN and digital I/O ports.
