SmartPump technology is the answer to the question of how to make a digital- manufacturing-compatible pump. SmartPump technology consists of a PLC-controlled pump, where all the motion is controlled, and process information is collected and fed to the operator, who then has complete control and sensor feedback of the process currently in use. The PLC controls the highly advanced and efficient servo motor which creates the pumping motion. Motor speed, power consumption and force feedback can be recorded by the PLC. Using that information, the PLC can automatically compensate for changes in the process due to changes in viscosity, pressure, temperature, particles, etc. This allows the process to keep the flow relatively constant and pulse free.
SmartPump technology is so advanced that it is able to monitor and measure the pumping characteristics without having any sensors immersed in the liquid being pumped. This is attributable to the manner in which the SmartPump is constructed and the technology applied. Therefore, SmartPump technology allows for a vast array of liquids to be pumped without having to worry about sensor wear and tear, since the sensors are not in direct contact with the liquid. Using this advanced method allows operators to be able to confidently monitor and adjust the process based on the feedback that the SmartPump provides.
