CITS Pro®
CITS Pro® Provides Unmatched Thermal Spray Process Control
Progressive Surface’s CITS Pro®—Computer Integrated Thermal Spray—system provides unmatched multi-process closed loop control, versatility, security, and data logging for multiple thermal spray processes.
Combining a powerful PLC with a user-friendly, touchscreen PC, the CITS Pro® controller is designed with both operators and process engineers in mind.
The Industry’s Most Advanced Process Controller
Each CITS Pro® system is customized for its specific application and can be configured to control individual or multiple high energy plasma, conventional plasma, HVOF, arc, and flame spray processes.
CITS Pro® enables manual, automatic, local and remote monitoring and operation using stored parameters. Extensive context-sensitive help and intuitive Windows-based controls make the CITS Pro® system very easy to use.
Configurable data loggers record specified variables every second the machine is “in-cycle.” Trend graphs provide the process engineer with the tools to perform design of experiments or SPC evaluation.
With selection of proper process hardware, CITS Pro® controller software can operate up to six powder feeders with closed loop feedrate control.
