Maintenance has often been regarded as a “necessary evil” or expense to the organization. One problem with managing the maintenance function effectively is that there are seldom the proper measurement and control systems in place.

Making it work for your business

Efficient plant maintenance is vital to a company’s ability to optimize and harmonize its production processes. For companies using SAP’s R/3 system, the effective implementation and use of the Plant Maintenance (PM) component represents a strategy with considerable practical benefits.

SAP R/3 Plant Maintenance offers a clear introduction to this small but sophisticated component and provides a highly practical guide to implementing PM. Beginning with a examination of the key business processes underlying PM functionality, the book goes on to cover all the crucial aspects of maintenance planning and execution in R/3. Particular attention is given to integrating plant maintenance with a company’s natural process flow.

Mikron Infrared’s patented Viewport is the first UL-approved device to allow closed-door infrared inspections of electrical panels. Matched with a SpyGlass™ lens, it allows an entire panel to be scanned through a single port’s 0.50” opening. At a cost of just $50, the Viewport “busts” IR windows, which cost $300+ each and easily break or scratch.

Designed to make inspections fast and convenient, the Viewport enables a thermographer to work without “NASA suit” personal protective equipment. The Viewport is also perfect for use with ultrasound detection equipment.

Thermal scans through the Viewport are highly accurate, because the open design uses no IR-transparent window, which can skew readings. IR windows used on electrical cabinets transmit only in the wavelength of 0.13 to 10 microns. If the window cuts off at 10.0 microns, then the camera misses more than 70% of the energy emitted by the target. This reduction of energy on the detector results in lower image quality and compromises temperature readings.

The Viewport is UL-approved for installation on NEMA type 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 5, 12,12K and 13 enclosures. Installation takes just minutes.

The SpyGlass lens provides a temperature accuracy of ±3 degrees C. With a focus range of 3” (10 cm) to infinity and a large depth of field, it’s perfect for cramped or shallow cabinets.

Accurate detection of airborne ultrasounds is facilitated with the flexible sensor. Hard to find leaks in complex pipe work are revealed quickly with this super sensitive sensor as its flexible design can be bent and shaped to fit your specific job.

The flexible sensor is perfect for checking the tightness integrity of windows and doors on cars, buses, trucks, ships, airplanes, clean rooms, buildings, trains, and more. Its ergonomic no-slip rubber grip lends comfort to assembly line operators where continuous checks are the norm. Safely test for electrical arcing, tracking, and corona in panels and switch gear with the flexible sensor in one hand and the Ultrawave 170 comfortably secured with the shoulder holster.

Once connected to the intelligent Ultrawave 170 it immediately recognizes the sensor and automatically switches to airborne mode. Available in two lengths (26” x 36”) the flexible sensor is supplied with a spiral cable, equipped with the appropriate connectors (depending on the detector) on both sides. The sensor can be customized to your specifications upon request.
