NEW! Guardian 2.0

• 100 Foot receiver range.
• Each transmitter can monitor either 1, 2 or 4 pressure switches.
• Continuous monitoring throughout the machining cycle.
• Simple integration into your automation controller using industry standard connectors.
• Easy to install and powered from Machine Tool (CNC machine) 24 VDC power supply.
• No more tool crashes. Guard your spindle from fixture pressure loss with wireless pressure monitoring using Vektek pressure switches and Vektek Guardian system.
• The transmitter is powered by common lithium CR2 batteries and has a life of up to 5 years.
  –   Low power modes save battery life while in storage/automatically go to sleep when inactive.
• Inputs are opto-isolated to protect electrical circuits and allow for syncing and sourcing I/O.
• Extended transmitting range designed for large machines, linear pallet pool systems, and even small applications such as vertical machining centers.
• Housing with aluminum base for excellent durability.
  –   Chip and high pressure coolant abrasion resistant.
  –   IP-67 rated using high quality seals.
  –   Able to withstand high RPM from a vertical turning lathe.
  –   Compact design allows for easy fit on new or existing installations.
• Pallet Identification system that simplifies integration and can be used for pallet management.
• In-cycle input to tell the Guardian when to begin the monitoring process, such as when the pallet is in the machining area.
• Status monitoring outputs that include pressure, battery level, connection status, and M-code acknowledgement via internal isolated relay contacts.
• Standard USB-C port for firmware updates in the field.

• Inputs to the Master Control Unit for identification up to 64 pallets, or use with the Pallet ID Reader for identifying an unlimited number of pallets.

• Monitor pressure on fixture pools with up to 200 pallets!
