Abstract
A service tracking system for a printing press (1), spray applicator (1′) or the like includes at least one replaceable component (10) having at least one memory unit (20). The service tracking system further includes a controller (30) which is connected to the memory unit (20). The controller (30) is configured to control the operation of the replaceable component (10) and to periodically update data stored on the memory unit (20) related to run-time data regarding the operation of the specific replaceable component (10).
Claims15
A service tracking system for a spray applicator, said system comprising:
- at least one replaceable component of the spray applicator, the replaceable component being in the shape of a spray bar, the replaceable component comprising at least one memory unit;
- and
- a controller connected to said at least one memory unit,
- wherein the controller is configured to control the operation of said at least one replaceable component and to periodically update data stored on each memory unit related to run-time data regarding operation of the specific replaceable component;
- and
- wherein the run-time data of the memory unit comprises operational time data related to operational time of valves of a valve rail of the spray bar.
A service tracking system for a spray applicator, said system comprising:
- at least one replaceable component of the spray applicator, the replaceable component being in the shape of a spray bar, the replaceable component comprising at least one memory unit;
- and
- a controller connected to said at least one memory unit,
- wherein the controller is configured to control the operation of said at least one replaceable component and to periodically update data stored on each memory unit related to run-time data regarding operation of the specific replaceable component;
- and
- wherein the run-time data of the memory unit comprises a number of strokes performed by valves of a valve rail of the spray bar.
A service tracking system for a spray applicator, said system comprising:
- at least one replaceable component of the spray applicator, the replaceable component being in the shape of a spray bar, the replaceable component comprising at least one memory unit;
- and
- a controller connected to said at least one memory unit,
- wherein the controller is configured to control the operation of said at least one replaceable component and to periodically update data stored on each memory unit related to run-time data regarding operation of the specific replaceable component;
- and
- wherein the run-time data of the memory unit comprises cleaning data related to when and for how long a valve rail of the spray bar have been cleaned.
