Stable and unattended measurement of micron-level particles (wear particles) in oil for long periods of time
Oil Particle Counter
In industrial machinery containing sliding parts, characteristic wear particles are released into the oil as a precursor to abnormal conditions. By capturing these wear particles, it is possible to “optimize maintenance timing” and “extend the life of sliding parts,” thereby reducing total costs by optimizing the timing of parts replacement and oil change.

Stable & long-term unattended measurement
(Laser light shielding method, Unique de-aerating device, and Built-in oil pump)
Improved noise immunity and measurement accuracy
(using PLCs with EMC countermeasures)
Measurement systems that can be applied to failure prediction and condition monitoring
The drained oil can be returned to the equipment to be measured using an oil return unit
(1) Proven laser light shielding method, (2) Unique de-aerating device, and (3) Built-in oil pump enables stable, long-term unattended measurement.
This eliminates the time and effort required for human verification and enables optimal predictive maintenance.
- Detection method resistant to vibration and quartz cell contamination
- Compact and efficient de-aerating structure enables measurement without the influence of bubbles
The use of PLCs with EMC countermeasures has improved noise immunity and measurement accuracy. Measurement can be made safely even near various facilities and testing equipment.
Intuitive operation software is provided. The software can be operated via LAN or network (separate preparation required) with the main unit, allowing you to check the acquired data and movements in the circuit at a glance. You can arbitrarily select a group of particles to focus on and follow the changes in their luminescence behavior.
A small pump is mounted inside the device to automatically supply and drain oil. The drained oil can be returned to the equipment to be measured using an oil return unit (sold separately). You can reuse and save oil.

By introducing the PI-1000 to prevent burning of lubricating oil in engines, transmissions, etc., it is possible to constantly monitor wear particles and replace lubricating oil at the appropriate time.
It can also contribute to the SDGs.
By constantly monitoring the wear particles of lubricating oil in offshore wind gearboxes and power generation equipment, it is possible to know the optimal timing for lubricant replacement, which could not be determined by spot checks.
By monitoring wear particles in the lubricating oil of remote facilities such as sluice gates, dams, and power generation facilities, it is possible to identify the occurrence of abnormalities in the facilities prior to inspection.
By monitoring in lubricants used at manufacturing sites, laboratories, universities, and other facilities with the PI-1000, it is possible to automatically take data on wear particles by size.Compared to microscopic sampling inspections, it is easier and more accurate data can be obtained.
If it is normal flowing oil, you can measure without any problem, but for grease or high-viscosity oil, you need a separate heater or line heater.
5 to 150 ㎛
Scale-like wear particle flows at a constant velocity while rotating, enabling stable measurement.
It is possible, but please avoid mixed solutions.
Once every 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
Approximately 25 ml.
This is possible using the optional “oil return unit” (sold separately).
There is no problem because a built-in de-aerating device automatically removes bubbles before measuring with the detector.
One month rental is available at an additional cost. Please inquire.
This can be done by passing special cleaning oil (sold separately) through the piping.
This is possible. Please contact us.
