ADHESIVE MEASURING SYSTEMS AMS

The Adhesive Measuring Systems AMS (Adhesive Measuring System) measure and monitor adhesive consumption to increase process reliability, production efficiency, and cost transparency. 

The measuring systems are available for various melters. The AMS measures and monitors the amount of adhesive used and reports if the amount of adhesive applied deviates from the defined tolerance range. There are two measurement versions, which differ in terms of the accuracy and response time of the measurement. The desired version can be selected depending on the system speed and quality requirements.

VARIANT AMS-K

In this version, data is recorded via the piston pump. The adhesive consumption is measured step by step using the pump stroke. AMS-K is integrated as standard in the Vision adhesive melter and is available as an option for Concept Diamond/Stream.

VARIANT AMS-V (EXTERNAL)

The AMS-V version is more accurate and faster than the AMS-K – it measures the adhesive consumption via the gear flow. The AMS-V measuring cell is available in a version integrated into the glue distributor or as an external unit. AMS-V external is placed outside the adhesive melter between two heated hoses and is particularly suitable for use with large equipment (e.g. JumboFlex, RobaDrum) as well as for simple retrofitting of existing adhesive systems.

ADHESIVE MEASURING SYSTEMS AMS ADVANTAGES – AT A GLANCE

  • Process reliability by adhesive consumption monitoring
  • Reliably glued products by ensuring the minimum adhesive application amount
  • Reduced costs due to optimized adhesive amount and less product waste
  • Notification in the case of deviations from the defined tolerance range
  • Clear graphical representation and data export (CSV file) via USB or communication interface
  • Optimized procurement and warehousing of adhesives based on consumption data analysis

INCREASED EFFICIENCY AND COST TRANSPARENCY

By monitoring the amount of adhesive applied, the adhesive can be reduced to a minimum while still producing a reliably glued product. This increases process reliability and line efficiency. The reduction in adhesive and product waste also results in significant cost savings. The message about the deviation from the tolerance range is displayed on the screen. In addition, further actions can be triggered via a corresponding output signal.

The InfoPlus software is used for graphical representation of the measured data. Evaluations regarding the amount of adhesive applied per product or over a specific period (minute, hour, day, or month) and the number of products produced are clearly displayed. The measured data can also indicate blockages of melter filters and application heads, or application nozzles. The evaluation enables the optimization of settings and processes, which leads to a reduction in costs or prevents unplanned downtimes.

By analyzing the evaluations, individual production lines can be easily compared with each other, new adhesives and glue patterns can be evaluated or information for procurement and spare parts management can be determined. The measurement data can also be exported for further analysis via a USB interface on the adhesive melter or transferred to a higher-level system via a communication interface (Profibus, Ethernet or real-time Ethernet).
