New Touch Screen Display For Kmt Waterjet Pumps Opens Door To Remote Monitoring

KMT pumps are controlled by a PLC system that provides comprehensive functions for the identification and elimination of faults. With the new touch screen interface, easy setting and monitoring of all working parameters can be carried out resulting in closer control of pump operations and processes. The screen, for example, provides a scale display of the high pressure pump utilisation, whilst to assist in preventative maintenance programmes, an indication of the operating hours of key components such as packing seals is also displayed. For larger installations, the interface assists in simplifying integration into synchronised circuits of high-pressure pumps operated within a networked pump system.

The touch screen is easy to operate and is multi-lingual. It can display operational data for pressure in psi, volumes in litres or gallons and temperatures in celsius or fahrenheit.

The ability to connect to the internet is a major step forward in remote monitoring of pump performance. It can be used to assist OEM waterjet table manufacturers and their customers by providing instant pictorial diagnostic information and this will help to prevent potential damage or downtime should any faults be identified. The life of key components such as valves can also be monitored.

With permission from customers, KMT Waterjet Systems can perform any remote monitoring requested and generate daily diagnostic email reports for both the OEM and the end user.
