Model
P15CB
Dual Probe, Non-ferrous Metal
PRIME
has
the solution for dependable double sheet
and blank probes used in tough metal
forming processes. We developed the
Model P15CB. The Model P15CB is among
a family of P15 probes. Additional letters
or numbers indicate the type and style
of probe body.
The
Model P15CB Probe is 51 mm high by 25
mm in diameter. The body of the probe
is machined steel with nickel plate
and hard chrome. Typical mounting is
with a split collar. It is sealed to
IP67 or NEMA 6P specifications with
a micro style connector. It has superior
resistance to moisture and solvents
when mated with Prime's Model CBL100
or CBL101 molded cable/connector. All
were designed to provide a high degree
of reliability to last through many
years of service. The Model P15CB Probe
is used with all early Prime detectors,
Models DS33, DS35, DS37, DS38, and new
Models DS150, DS1520, DS1522, SD200,
SD202 and SD203.
The Model P15CB is used best to detect
nonferrous metal. (It will also work
with ferrous metal. However our best
probes for thin ferrous (>1 mm) metal
is with Primes' P70 family and P1000
family for thick (<1 mm)
ferrous.
Transmitter
to receiver separation is 25 mm or less.
Response time is a function of the control
and the probes. The P15 family is the
fastest of all Prime probes. Prime controls
change signal depending on conditions.
This impacts response time. Total system
response time range is 2 to 10 mS.
The
electromagnetic field of the P15CB is
approximately 25 mm wide at the transmitter
origin. It spreads out at a rate of
40 degrees for 18 mm then rapidly decreases
to barely detectable at 30 mm range.
It
is ideal for detecting very thin or
small items less than 1 mm thick or
attached items 12 mm wider or or greater.
For example it detects aluminum can
end pull tabs on ends at rates exceeding
800 per minute. The ideal separation
for small items is 16 mm. This decreases
the field of view to less than 20 mm.
The
Model P15CB is a direct replacement
for the earlier Type "CB"
probe.
Two
different cable types are used to adapt
the P15CB to early model controls. Early
control designs used the internal element
in the probe to dictate signal characteristics.
This technology requires the three conductors
found in the Model CBL100-3 and CBL100-6
(-3 , - 6 represents cable length, in
meters).
This
early design technology was and is susceptible
to sensitivity drift, limits the maximum
cable length as well as other problems.
Models CBL100-3 and CBL100-6 are used
when applying the P15CB to a DS33, DS35,
DS37 or DS38. Both have three conduct
cable with shield. The maximum cable
distance of a Model CBL100 is limited
to 40 feet or 12 meters when used with
Models DS33 through DS38.
Primes'
newest controls do not use the probe
element to control signal characteristics.
The controls microprocessor determines
the best signal based on conditons that
are taught to the control. This improvement
locks in sensitivity, increases maximum
cable length to over fifty meters and
allows the control to automatically
configure itself for infinite signal
characteristics. The new controls use
the the Model CB101-3 and CBL101-6.
The
CBL101-3 and CBL101-6 are used with
DS150, DS1520, DS1522 and Models SD200,
SD202 and SD203. Both are a twisted
pair w/shield. Cable distance can exceed
50 meters Additional cable lengths beyond
the CBL101 standard lengths must use
Prime's specified cable in order to
maintain noise immunity.
Both
the CBL100 and CBL101 have two standard
lengths of three and six meters. The
P15CB easily replaces our fixed cable
Type "CB" Probe. It fits in the same
mounting bracket and requires no special
alterations. The quick disconnect feature
permits the quick removal of either
the probe or cable.
