Abstract:
A remote adhesive monitoring system is used in connection with adhesive applied to workpieces moving along a production line. A reservoir, pump, and applicator apply the adhesive to the workpieces. A monitor control computer has an associated data processing program. A pump cycle sensor senses pump cycles. An applicator sensor senses when the adhesive is applied to the workpieces. A workpiece sensor senses the workpieces moving along the line. The monitor control uses input from the applicator sensing means and the workpiece sensor to determine an ON time per each workpiece at a predetermined speed. The monitor control uses input from the workpiece sensor and the pump cycle sensor to determine the number of workpieces per pump cycle. The monitor control calculates an ON time to TOTAL time ratio per each workpiece. The monitor control will then calculate an amount of adhesive used for the given ON time to TOTAL time ratio.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for remotely monitoring an adhesive applied to workpieces moving at a predetermined speed in a process direction on a production line having a reservoir, a pump, and an applicator, the method comprising:\n weighing the adhesive applied to the workpieces; providing an applicator sensor for sensing the adhesive applied to the workpieces; providing a workpiece sensor for sensing the workpieces moving; providing a monitor control and an associated data processing program; calculating an ON time for applying the adhesive per each workpiece at said predetermined speed with the monitor control using input from the applicator sensor and the workpiece sensor; providing a pump cycle sensor for sensing pump cycles; calculating workpieces per pump cycle with the monitor control using input from the workpiece sensor and the pump cycle sensor; calculating an ON time to TOTAL time ratio, defined as ON ratio, per each workpiece with the monitor control; and calculating an amount of adhesive used for said ON ratio with the monitor control.
