Motion and control technologies company Parker Hannifin has launched its latest diagnostic instrument for fluid power applications. Designed to offer fast and accurate measuring and analysis, with an efficient and easy-to-use interface, the Service Master Plus combines operational convenience and simple handling with high capacity data storage with the aim of boosting both productivity and profitability.
Developed for use in preventative maintenance, commissioning, troubleshooting and machine optimisation programmes, this portable multi-function instrument monitors, analyses, displays and stores data relating to pressure, flow, temperature and rotational speed and can switch between them all with ease, in both hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
The system is supplied complete with internal power pack and Parker’s SensoWin DPC software. This enables readings to be displayed in various formats including numerical, bar graph, pointer and curve graph, while project templates can be saved and loaded for easy interpretation. All data is displayed on a high definition, large format illuminated 5.7-inch colour display, with straightforward sealed membrane switch function and control keys, ergonomic design and a battery life of up to eight hours.
Service Master Plus also incorporates specially developed Parker CAN bus sensors, with automatic sensor recognition, making it an easy to use plug and play system. Additionally, CAN, LAN and USB interfaces are provided, while data transfer can be performed using Flash card, SD card or USB memory stick. Built to meet IP64 requirements, the unit is housed within a rubber jacket with all terminals being protected by rubber covers to prevent ingress of dust or moisture.
