Cross Compressed Air Flow Monitor
Cross Compressed Air Flow Monitor
The Cross Compressed Air Flow Monitor is a self contained flow monitor that measures peak flow rate and total volume of compressed air consumed. It’s very simple to use and setup with just one air input and one air output, just connect it inline with your machine air supply, supply power, and it’s ready to go.
The Air Flow Monitor helps to reduce costs by helping detect air leaks that may go otherwise unnoticed. It also helps to reduce risk as it can proactively identify machine issues and maintenance needs before the machine goes down.
Improve Efficiency and Reduce Costs
Here’s a quick case study about an automotive parts manufacturer finding a quick ROI with the Cross air flow monitor:
Actively monitoring compressed air consumption can have benefits for your bottom line. One of our customers, a manufacturer of automotive parts, found significant savings after just a few months. They used the Cross Compressed Air Flow Monitor to record the amount of air being used by their cabinet cooler. This device utilizes compressed air to cool an electronics cabinet. Because it is exhausting to the atmosphere to cool the cabinet, any extra air used in the process is wasted. For this reason, they wanted to see if they could accomplish the same task while using less air.

Compressed Air Flow Monitor Features
The Cross compressed air flow monitor can provide a significant amount of tangible value for your operation. Some of the key features include
Self-contained Leak Detection
Our compressed air flow monitor is a self-contained device that is able to accurately detect air leaks. They do this by measuring peak flow rate and the total volume of compressed air consumed. Through this, you can significantly reduce compressed air loss and minimize associated costs.
Proactive Machine Issue Identification
Utilizing our air flow monitor, our customers can proactively identify potential machine issues before they cause costly damage through malfunctions. By continuously monitoring air flow and comparing those measurements to baselines, preventive actions can be taken to ensure smooth operations.
Connectivity Options
Our compressed air flow monitor offers a wide range of connectivity options, including 300 industrial standard protocols, built-in MQTT connectors for communication via Google Cloud, Amazon AWS, and Microsoft Azure, embedded OPC UA Client Driver and Historical Access, and much more.
Benefits of Our Compressed Air Flow Monitor
The Cross compressed air flow monitor can also provide tangible benefits to your operation. In addition, other benefits include
Easy to use – Connect to the compressed air inlet, supply power and you’re up and monitoring your air use
Establish a baseline – Know the peak threshold for your machine and compare against future readings to detect leaks
Know when there’s an issue – Alarms are triggered when a peak threshold measurement is surpassed
Data at your fingertips – Measures and records peak flow, constant flow and total volume of air used which can be transmitted through a variety of communication protocols to many databases and platforms
