A novel energy saving and monitoring system can be incorporated with noncontact hot air staking systems.
UK company Phasa Developments has released its new energy saving and monitoring system to be incorporated within its standard range of noncontact hot air staking systems. Said Tony Woods, Business Manager Phasa Developments: 'We have increasingly become aware of our customers need to reduce running costs particularly in the area of energy use and the consumption of compressed air'. To fulfil this need Phasa has developed an all-new on-demand reduced air consumption module (patent applied) as an option on all new machines.

The Phasa Air Supply System (PASS) is claimed to save in excess of 50% of a machine's normal compressed air usage within the manifold system, and in real terms this translates to significant cost savings against normal energy usage.

And as energy costs continue to rise the savings will become even more significant.

At the heart of the unit is a logic control system allowing efficient 'on-demand' use and monitoring of the air produced with the further ability to recycle any expelled hot air.

Dry clean air is assured along with almost silent running.

By using an all-new touchscreen operating panel, the system has the additional benefit of being able to record and store the individual piece part processed parameters for download to a system network or hard copy printer, allowing for complete process traceability.

This new development highlights a significant factor in maintaining Phasa Developments as the leading market supplier for noncontact hot air staking equipment; but equally important it provides all its customers with the opportunity for ongoing efficiencies of energy cost savings and improved product traceability.
