Glue Sensor Installation
There are two types of sensors:
•
Capacitive sensor
•
Ultra-violet (UV) sensor
WARNING! Only qualified technicians should install, assemble, or adjust
the settings of the sensor.
CAUTION! The device must be protected against moisture and dirt when
operating.
One glue sensor must be installed for each glue line to be inspected. A top-down bottom-up glue station should be
used with the optional glue sensor bracket.
Capacitive Glue Sensor
Mechanical Installation
The capacitive glue sensor should be positioned to see through the product. Sensing through the product reduces the
risk of adhesive collecting on the sensor, which may cause false activation of the glue sensor.
To set up the capacitive sensor, follow these steps:
1. Adjust the guide bars of the bracket so that there is approximately 1/16” (1.5 mm) clearance between the product
and the upper and lower guide bars (Figures 14 and 15).
2. Position the sensor so that there is a 1/4” (6 mm) maximum between the detecting surface of the sensor and the
product.
Note!
Glue should be on the opposite side of the product from the sensor.
3. Tighten the screw on the housing to secure the sensor.
Electrical Installation
The cables used to connect the glue sensors to the control should have a minimum of three conductors (18–22
AWG) and a shield.
To connect the glue sensor to the control, follow these steps:
1. Insert the glue sensor cables into the control enclosure through the cord grip located on the bottom panel of the
control.
2. Connect the glue sensor cables to J7 (glue 1) or J8 (glue 2) on the glue inspection logic board (see Figure 8).
Connections are as follows:
Pin 1: 12VDC
Pin 2: Signal
Pin 3: Return
3. Connect shield wire to the protective earth (P.E.) terminals located near the cord-grip base plate.
4. Tighten the cord grips used by the glue sensor cables.
