Particle Counting and Monitoring
The Oilpas System Delivers a Groundbreaking Solution Using Optical Imaging For Accurate and Reliable Oil Particle Counting and Monitoring.
Particles, Bubbles and Droplets
OILPAS has led the way in advanced object recognition within fluid streams for more than 15 years, detecting and analyzing particles, bubbles, droplets, and beyond. The OILPAS System delivers a groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind solution that redefines precision and reliability in fluid monitoring.
Unlike conventional particle counters, OILPAS utilizes an optical imaging technique combined with advanced image-processing algorithms to accurately measure objects at their true size.
This eliminates the need for time-consuming calibration while ensuring fast, accurate, and consistent results.
Engineered for versatility, the OILPAS System empowers operators to detect particles, bubbles, and droplets across a wide range of fluids—including lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, and metalworking media. The result is enhanced mechanical efficiency, superior insight, and greater operational control.
Oilpas: Concept and Technology
At the core of the OILPAS System lies a proven principle: optical imaging of a thin liquid film within a flow cell, enhanced by intelligent algorithms for recognition and characterization. This enables precise detection of particles as small as 1 μm.
A small fraction of the oil circulates continuously through the flow cell, where it is optically imaged at adjustable intervals—up to 1 Hz, depending on application requirements. Advanced algorithms then identify each object, analyzing size, quantity, and defining characteristics.
Designed for real-time monitoring during machine operation, OILPAS provides actionable insights into critical conditions such as:
- Run-in evaluation
- Early wear detection
- Aeration monitoring
- Water dispersion analysis
By delivering continuous, data-driven feedback, the OILPAS System optimizes performance, increases reliability, and safeguards essential machinery and systems.
