IMPAX - Model TSS-6 -Downtime/Efficiency Monitor
The IMPAX TSS-6 offers downtime analysis and production monitoring in an easy-to-use touch screen system. The TSS-6 automatically collects information on production totals, machine efficiency, and accumulated machine uptime and downtime. All occurrences of downtime, and the corresponding reasons, are tracked and archived. This system is available in a vivid color or monochromatic 6" touch screen display, either mounted in a NEMA-rated enclosure, or flush mounted into a control panel.
The TSS system is capable of collecting critical process data from virtually any machine that runs in a manual or automatic mode. This includes cold headers, thread rollers, stamping presses, screw machines, injection molding machines, multi-slides, spring coilers, forging presses, assembly/insertion machines, packaging and printing applications, drills/taps, saws, and more. The system analyzes and displays the machine's run condition and other information. In the event of a machine/process stop, the unit automatically converts to downtime entry mode. Operators must select from pre-defined downtime reasons in order to restart the machine, so all downtime information is accurate. The touch screen interface displays a summary of downtime occurrences and minutes for each downtime reason, uptime and downtime minutes, productivity, tool and maintenance counters, and machine efficiencies.

As a standalone monitor, the TSS-6 collects complete and accurate data and stores it for review. As part of a networked data collection system, it can also deliver accurate, real-time data to a computer or database. A networked PC running the TSS-NET Software provides easy-to-use and powerful analysis tools for collected data. Shop-floor data from the TSS monitors is transferred into a database program for further evaluation and report generation. Please see the TSS-NET Software page for more information.
With the new Remote Access ability for IMPAX TSS monitors, you can view machine status and uptime/downtime remotely. You can view each TSS's screen from any computer on the network, and take control of the TSS if needed. For more information, see the IMPAX TSS Remote Control Demonstration.
