The OMK610 Squirrel Oven Logging System offers an all-in-one kit engineered specifically for through-process thermal profiling and paint cure calculations. Eltek continue Grant Instruments’ four decades of experience in the coatings industry, this rugged system travels directly inside industrial curing ovens alongside the manufactured product. It provides production lines with an intuitive method to optimise energy costs, verify paint manufacturer parameters, and prevent structural finish defects like poor adhesion or colour discrepancy.
The comprehensive profiling ecosystem relies on three tightly integrated components:
1. The Core Intellect: The Squirrel OQ610 Logger At the heart of the system is the Squirrel OQ610, a specialised, compact temperature data logger featuring 6 channels dedicated to Type K or Type T thermocouples.
2. High-Temperature Armour: Thermal Barriers & Phase-Change Heat Sinks Because the OQ610 is an electronic device with a safe operating limit up to 65°C, it must be completely insulated from the intense heat of stoving ovens. The OMK610 system achieves this using heavy-duty, silicone-free stainless steel thermal barriers:
3. Precision Mapping: Triple-Insulated Thermocouple Probes To gather exact thermal profiles, the system utilises high-response Type K thermocouple probes protected by rugged, easy-to-clean Teflon® triple-insulated cables. We offer multi-function configurations featuring strong magnetic bases for steel substrates or heavy-duty spring clamps for non-magnetic components. These allow operators to simultaneously capture ambient air temperatures and direct substrate surface temperatures across multiple zones of a single component.
The PaintView Analytics Platform
Every system includes the specialised PaintView software suite. Designed exclusively for the finishing industry, PaintView maps the logger’s data against a custom database of manufacturer paint curves, letting engineers establish upper/lower tolerance bands, run historical area-integration cure analyses, and automatically generate ISO 9000-compliant quality assurance reports.
The OQ610 temperature data logger is suitable for a wide range of temperature recording applications in industry, research and development. It is available as a standalone temperature logger or as part of a complete system for through process monitoring in the food and paint industries. The OQ610 can accept up to 6 K-Type or T-Type thermocouple temperature inputs with temperature ranges from -200 up to 1,300°C. Logging rates from 8Hz to every 2 hours with an internal flash memory for up to 260,000 readings. Two AA batteries will provide 200 hours operation.
The OQ610-S data logger is suitable for taking up to 6 K or T type thermocouple temperature readings for heat treating products in your manufacturing process. The logger is housed in one of the standard, or custom, thermal barriers for protection for the required process temperature and duration. We can supply a wide range of temperature probes for surface, air or insertion measurements to be taken during the process. Standard barriers can handle temperatures of up to 950°C for up to 3 Hrs.
The OMK610 Squirrel oven logging system includes everything you need for oven temperature profiling and paint cure calculations in one easy to use and convenient system. The OMK610 is built from over 40 years experience in the manufacture of oven recorders for the coatings industry. The current OMK610 is designed with many new features to assist in production quality control and reducing operating costs. Various different temperature sensors are available to provide air temperature, surface temperature and combined temperatures for complete temperature profiling inside paint ovens and other temperature controlled environments.
