Model P70CB

Dual Probe For Ferrous Metal

PRIME has the solution for dependable double sheet and blank probes used in tough metal forming processes. We developed the Model P70CB. The Model P70CB is among a family of P70 probes. Additional letters or numbers indicate the type and style of probe body.

The Model P70CB 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 P70CB Probe is used with all early Prime detectors, Models DS33, DS35, DS37, DS38, and new Models DS150, DS1520, DS1522,

Models SD200, SD202 and SD203 were designed to use the Model P15CB with Ferrous and Non-ferrous.

The Model P70CB is used best to detect ferrous metal. under 1 mm thick (It will also work with non-ferrous metal. However our best probes for non-ferrous (less than 1 mm) metal is with Primes' P15 family and P1000 family for thick (greater than 1 mm) ferrous.

Transmitter to receiver separation is 25 mm or less. Response time is a function of the control and the 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 P70CB 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 tinplate sheets 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.

Two different cable types are used to adapt the P70CB 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 P70CB 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 50 feet or 15 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.

Electromagnet Field

 

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 P70CB 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.
