At SofTek Engineering, we understand the critical role that valve diagnostics play in maintaining operational efficiency, ensuring safety, and optimizing performance. That’s why we’ve developed the Profiler System Family, an innovative suite of tools tailored to meet the diverse needs of valve professionals across industries. Let’s dive into what makes each member of this family indispensable.

Profiler: The Ultimate Valve Diagnostic Tool

Take control with the Profiler™, a powerful diagnostic system that saves you time and money. Equipped with real-time graphics, it delivers immediate results, eliminating the need for third-party reviews.

Built to Last Designed for harsh environments, the Profiler is rugged, portable, and versatile—perfect for in-line valve troubleshooting. Process engineers can easily access critical information to enhance system performance and reliability.

Beyond Digital Positioners While digital positioners provide basic diagnostics, the Profiler takes it further by independently analyzing stem or shaft movement. It pinpoints issues like Deadband caused by mechanical inefficiencies, ensuring precise calibration and optimal control system performance.

Profiler Mini: Small but Mighty

Compact, lightweight, and engineered for offshore professionals, the Profiler Mini is the perfect portable diagnostic tool for those who need it.

Ideal for Specific Applications Designed for modulating or 4-20mA valves, the Profiler Mini is a versatile tool ideal for commissioning, sales demos, or as a third or fourth system in your toolkit. While it doesn’t support our test accessory packages, its mobility and ease of use make it a valuable addition to any diagnostic arsenal.

Profiler SRV: Precision Diagnostics for Safety and Pressure Relief Valves

The Profiler SRV takes safety and pressure relief valve diagnostics to a new level, focusing on simplicity, accuracy, and durability.

Unmatched Accuracy Using rugged transducers with 0.1% accuracy and a 16-bit data acquisition system, the Profiler SRV captures 1,000 samples per second for dependable results. Its integrated sensors—load, pressure, displacement, and accelerometer—ensure thorough diagnostics.

Portable and User-Friendly Housed in a robust shipping case, the Profiler SRV is easy to transport and designed for user-friendly operation. Its precision testing helps ensure that safety relief valves perform flawlessly, protecting against revenue loss, downtime, and injury.

Profiler MOV: Advanced Diagnostics for Motor Operated Valves

With the Profiler MOV, SofTek Engineering expands its diagnostic capabilities to include Motor Operated Valves, delivering a comprehensive solution for linear and rotary valve performance.

Key Diagnostic Features

Position and Stroke Analysis: Enhanced sensors provide detailed insights into actuator positioning and stroke length.
Motor and Actuator Health: Monitor motor RPM, torque, temperature, and phase currents to ensure optimal operation and detect wear.
Friction and Seating Profiles: Use current readings to assess friction curves and capture precise seating profiles to prevent leaks.
Modulating and ON/OFF Testing: Execute signal tests for both modulating and ON/OFF valves to ensure compliance with performance standards.

Predictive Maintenance Tools Stay ahead of wear and tear with phase current analysis and friction curve insights. Detect dead bands early and ensure leak-free operation with laser bubble counting for seat leak tests.

The Profiler Family: Unmatched Versatility

From the robust Profiler to the compact Mini, the precise SRV, and the advanced MOV, the Profiler System Family empowers professionals with innovative diagnostic tools. Whatever your valve diagnostic needs, SofTek Engineering has the solution to optimize performance, ensure safety, and extend the life of your valve systems.
