SUPERPROX® Ultrasonic Motion Sensors Model SM505 Series 0 pages

In contrast to other jam and

nnnn

gap-type sensors which stop

nnnn

machine processes upon sens-

nnnn

ing a back-to-back, no-gap con-

nnnn

dition, this SUPERPROX® mi-

nnnn

croprocessor-based series

nnnn

(Model SM505 through Model

nnnn

SM575) of ultrasonic motion

nnnn

sensors is rate sensitive. Even

nnnn

with a back-to-back, no-gap con-

nnnn

dition, the operator can, through

nnnn

the use of a rate potentiometer,

nnnn

set the speed below which the

nnnn

output switches off, causing the

nnnn

particular machine under control

nnnn

to stop. Another potentiometer

nnnn

enables the operator to set the

nnnn

time delay desired to restart the

nnnn

particular machine under control

nnnn

once the resumed container

nnnn

speed is at or above the set rate.

nnnn

This time delay feature prevents

nnnn

the output from switching on pre-

nnnn

maturely when the container

nnnn

movement is momentarily at or

nnnn

above the set rate.

nnnn

Available in either AC or DC

nnnn

models, these self-contained

nnnn

sensors can be positioned

nnnn

throughout the packaging line

nnnn

and easily configured to auto-

nnnn

matically control the synchro-

nnnn

nized starting and stopping of

nnnn

conveyor lines and the starting

nnnn

and stopping of the machines in

nnnn

the system. By allowing the

nnnn

machines to run longer before

nnnn

shutdown due to a line backup,

nnnn

and to start earlier once the

nnnn

movement begins, the result is a

nnnn

smoother, more efficient con-

nnnn

tainer handling system.

nnnn

These sensors can be used in

nnnn

either single-file or mass-wide

nnnn

conveyor operations with all types

nnnn

of containers. As with all

nnnn

SUPERPROX® sensors, a simple

nnnn

push-button is used to set the lim-

nnnn

its within which the container mo-

nnnn

tion is monitored and detected.

nnnn

In single-file applications, con-

nnnn

tainer motion is monitored as

nnnn

soon as a back-to-back, no-gap

nnnn

condition exists. In mass-wide

nnnn

applications, container motion is

nnnn

monitored when a container

nnnn

moves laterally to within 8 in. of

nnnn

the SUPERPROX® sensor.

nnnn

Introduction

nnnn

This SUPERPROX® sensor

nnnn

series detects the movement of

nnnn

either plastic, glass, or metal

nnnn

containers as small as 38 mm

nnnn

(1-1/2") in diameter on single file

nnnn

and mass conveyors. By using

nnnn

the unique "window" sensing fea-

nnnn

ture with two potentiometers and

nnnn

a background target on the op-

nnnn

posite side of the container,

nnnn

movement is reliably detected.

nnnn

The container pass line nearest

nnnn

the sensor and background tar-

nnnn

get are the sensing references

nnnn

respectively for setting a fore-

nnnn

ground and background sensing

nnnn

window.
