M18T Series

An automotive manufacturer was rejecting a supplier’s shipment of rear window assemblies due to faulty defroster grids. The supplier’s existing test procedure measured current draw across the entire heating system to detect an overall failure, but it could not detect the subtle impact of a single heating wire being broken. The window supplier partnered with a Michigan-based machine automation company to create a better test fixture—one that can verify each defrost wire heats to specification prior to shipping.

Invece di installare dei cavi di trasmissione I/O, utilizzare un nodo SureCross con alimentazione da 10 a 30 V cc e un sensore di temperatura T-GAGE Banner. Quando si utilizzano dei sistemi di controllo host, il gateway SureCross trasmette la temperatura alla sala comandi dell'impianto, utilizzando un'uscita digitale relativa ai sepoint della temperatura nel sensore. L'alimentazione del motore viene ridotta o aumentata in base a queste temperature. Se si utilizza un Gateway Pro come dispositivo master wireless, i dati possono essere registrati e degli avvisi notificano al personale della manutenzione se un motore funziona al di fuori dei parametri previsti.

T-GAGE M18T Series Temperature Sensors are passive, non-contacting, temperature-based devices designed to detect objects that are hotter or colder than the ambient condition, and then activate an output. In this application, the T-GAGE temperature sensor will detect the presence or absence of hot glue on the flaps of the package. If the hot glue is present, the process will continue and the package will be sealed. If it’s absent, the output will trigger a process to apply the hot glue.

Banner’s T-GAGE M18T temperature sensor is ideal for hot glue verification because it detects the infrared energy an object emits to determine its temperature, sensing from 0⁰C to 300⁰C. In this application, the T-GAGE M18T temperature sensor detects the presence or absence of hot glue on the flaps. If hot glue is present, the package will continue down the manufacturing line;if it is missing, the output will trigger a pusher arm to kick the carton off the conveyor into a bin.

To ensure that a griddle is on, non-contact T-GAGE M18T temperature sensors are aimed at the cooking surface to detect that the surface is hotter than the surrounding air. If the waffle iron is hot, the batter will be poured in and the process will continue. If it is not hot enough, the T-GAGE temperature sensor output won't trigger the batter release mechanism allowing the iron additional time to heat.

Gli indicatori EZ-LIGHT, visibili in condizioni di luce diurna, producono un'illuminazione intensa grazie a 18 LED che possono essere accesi assieme o in 3 gruppi di 6 per controllare il livello di intensità luminosa, rendendoli ideali per applicazioni che richiedono una segnalazione chiara in un ambiente esterno. Uno schermo parasole opzionale ne aumenta la visibilità, rendendoli visibili anche in ambienti con alti livelli di soleggiamento.
