A new hand held portable hydraulic data logger from Webtec – the HPM7000 targets a wide range of users, including hydraulic system diagnosticians, or those involved in test stands, pre-dispatch inspection or research and development.
The HPM7000 is the successor to Webtec’s popular long-standing HPM6000 model, which promises to allow users to obtain answers to hydraulic challenges speedily. Using the HPM7000 repair, test, inspection and R&D professionals can connect up to 48 sensors and create different hardware configurations by adding or changing input modules.
Among the users set to benefit are test stand technicians who monitor and record variables such as flow, temperature, pressure, current, rotational speed and contamination, which could be following the repair or rebuild of pumps, motors, pistons or valves.
The device will also bring advantages to R&D professionals developing/analysing hydraulic machinery such as tractors, excavators and industrial systems. With the HPM7000 it is simple to collect traditional flow, temperature and pressure readings, and seamlessly integrate new J1939 or CANOpen sensors of different type or manufacturer into a single data-logging device.
For pre-dispatch inspection (PDI) users, the HPM7000 can help improve customer satisfaction and reduce warranty claims. PDI technicians can provide a far richer data set in support of machine/equipment performance prior to shipment, reducing the likelihood of end-user complaints.
Delivering plug and play functionality, the HPM7000 base model enables the simultaneous connection of up to 48 Webtec CAN sensors, or up to five external third-party CANopen sensors. Two frequency inputs or digital I/O are also possible thanks to a dual-function connector, thus facilitating the simple integration of gear flowmeters or speed sensors, for example.
