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 1):
A remote adhesive monitoring system, for use in connection with workpieces moving at a predetermined speed in a process direction on a production line, an adhesive adapted to be applied to the workpieces, and a dispensing system having a reservoir, a pump, and an applicator with an applicator valve, the monitoring system comprising:\n a monitor control and an associated data processing program; a pump cycle sensor mounted adjacent the pump and operatively electrically connected to the monitor control, the pump cycle sensor being adapted to sense pump cycles; applicator sensing means for sensing applying the adhesive to the workpieces, the applicator sensing means being operatively electrically connected to the monitor control; and a workpiece sensor mounted adjacent the workpieces and operatively electrically connected to the monitor control, the workpiece sensor being adapted to sense the workpieces moving; wherein the monitor control will use input from the applicator sensing means and the workpiece sensor to determine an ON time per each workpiece at said predetermined speed; the monitor control will use input from the workpiece sensor and the pump cycle sensor to determine workpieces per pump cycle; the monitor control will calculate an ON time to TOTAL time ratio, defined as ON ratio, per each workpiece; and the monitor control will calculate an amount of adhesive used for said ON ratio.
