Voltage monitoring system AIMS®

performancepowercurrent

Overview
The AIMS® (Advanced Intelligent Monitoring System) provides real-time performance monitoring and centralized diagnostics for LightHammer® Mark II and Mark III microwave UV curing installations. Designed for industrial production lines, AIMS® supports Industry 4.0 data acquisition and helps reduce downtime through proactive alerts and maintenance tracking.

Core functionality
AIMS® acquires and displays critical operating parameters from connected LightHammer® UV curing systems in configurable dashboard formats (graph, gauge, summary). Operators and process engineers can monitor live data on a PC, receive email alerts for warnings and faults, and track consumable part lifecycles for maintenance planning. The system supports simultaneous monitoring of up to 30 LightHammer® 10 Mark II/Mark III power supplies.

Features

• Real-time production monitoring to support process control and product consistency.
• Support for up to 13 primary irradiators in Primary/Secondary mode and up to 30 power supplies via user-friendly software.
• Logging of 24–36 selectable system metrics (including magnetron current and voltage, photocell voltage, component operating hours) with 15, 30 or 60-second intervals.
• On-screen display of up to six user-selectable metrics simultaneously (graph, gauge, or summary/table views).
• Configurable email alerts for warnings/faults and scheduled summary reports.
• Remote access and multi-plant comparison capabilities depending on IT infrastructure.
• Preventive maintenance support with operating-hours tracking for magnetrons, bulbs and reflectors to minimize downtime and scrap.

Additional details
AIMS® delivers detailed data visualization through customizable dashboards. Each recorded data point can include minimum, maximum, mean and standard deviation values. The system can generate a timestamped data file daily and optionally email files automatically. From a single curing head to a fully networked array, AIMS® provides a unified interface for metric tracking and streamlined diagnostics across the entire installation.
