Sensors for DiPro 1500
DiPro 1500 is the controller, the part of your die protection system that checks signals
from sensors and sends a stop signal to the press when a malfunction is detected. Sensors
connected to DiPro are mounted to the press or die to monitor what is happening in the
dies.
Any electro-mechanical sensor can be used with DiPro as long as it can switch between
an open state (sensor circuit to DiPro open) and a closed state (sensor circuit closed—
some use the term grounded). All types of electronic sensors (proximity, photoelectric,
fiberoptic) can be used. Simple contact sensors and probes which close by touching the
part, die or press can be used as well. If you have any questions about whether a certain
sensor will work with DiPro, do not hesitate to call Wintriss Controls.
Wintriss Controls makes or sells a wide range of sensors. Below is a partial list of sensors
Wintriss Controls makes for its die protection units, and all can be used with DiPro.
Most sensors made by other manufacturers can also be used. Detailed application
information is available on any of the Wintriss Controls sensors listed below.
• Miniature fiberoptic photoelectric sensors —thru-beam and reflective types with
adjustable sensitivity detect objects as small as .0006 in. (.015 mm). Requires
12 to 24 Vdc for power.
• Proximity sensors —miniature electronic sensors that detect metal objects
passing in front of the the sensor barrel. Sensors have no moving parts and are
not affected by water or oil. Requires 12 to 24 Vdc power source.
• Misfeed detectors —designed to monitor non-working spring loaded pilot punch
position, stripper position, or other material location applications.
• Short feed sensors —for contacting material at the fully advanced position.
• Overload sensors —for preventing expensive die damage due to overload from
slugging, material thickness variations, broken tooling, or other causes.
• Die overload sensors —designed to detect minor changes in shut height.
• Buckling sensor —for detecting material buckle
• End of material sensor —signals when material runs out.
• Probes —Three types available for diverse applications.
