Connect most electronic and electromechanical sensors to your SmartPAC® and DiPro 1500. The DiPro Sensor Interface offers:

• Quick-connect plugs for up to eight electronic sensors. Four electromechanical
  sensors can be used in place of electronic sensors.
• Built-in power supply provides plenty of power for all of your sensing needs.
• LED indicators for each of the eight sensors help in setup and trouble shooting.
• The HD19 or QDP™ Quick Die plugs let you connect up to eight die-mounted
  sensors to the DSI 2 with one cable. This speeds setup and virtually eliminates
  errors caused by mis-wiring.
• Built-in pulse stretching on inputs 1-4 allow the die protection control to detect
  very fast signals (from air ejected parts) that might ordinarily be missed.
• Compact size makes it easy to mount almost anywhere.

HD19 Kit

The HD19 Kit enables you to connect up to eight die-mounted sensors to your DiPro Sensor Interface with one heavy duty cable, reducing setup time and virtually eliminating sensor wiring errors during setup.

The HD19 kit also helps to extend sensor life by eliminating the number-one cause of sensor failure: damaged cables. When die-mounted sensors have to be plugged into a press-mounted interface box, it is necessary to keep long sensor cables coiled up on the die. Often, these cables are damaged while the die is being handled. With the HD19 Kit, the main cable stays with the press, and sensor cables on the die are kept as short as possible.

The HD19 Kit is designed to be installed in a user-supplied, die-mounted enclosure. The kit consists of a circuit board with a 19-pin heavy-duty connector on one side and a terminal strip with removable connector on the other side. Cables are available in three lengths and must be ordered separately

Diffuse Reflective Sensors

Diffuse Reflective Sensors are primarily used to detect part ejection. These sensors are extra sensitive, so they can bemused for detecting small, fast-moving parts. Care should be taken when installing diffuse reflective sensors to ensure that background objects do not cause accidental actuation. Use the short-ranged CX-24 for applications where the part passes close to the sensor and where maximum background suppression is required. Use the longer range CX-22 or PZ-41 for general part ejection detection. All sensors use infrared light to minimize false actuations caused by oil in the sensing field.
 

Retroreflective Sensors

Retroreflective sensors that use a reflective target (included) to establish a sensing beam. The CX-29 sensor has a 10 ft (3.05 m) maximum sensing range. When installed with the sensor and reflector less than 10 ft (3.05 m) apart, the unused range (also called the “excess gain”) provides extra power to enable the sensor to shine right through lubricant and other contaminants. The sensor and reflector feature built-in polarizing filters to allow the sensor to detect even very reflective parts. Retroreflective sensors are most often
used in the dark-on mode (part breaks the beam to actuate the sensor). However, the CX-29 has a light-on/dark-on selector switch.
 

Through-Beam Photosensors

Through-Beam Photosensor is a general-purpose photosensor with separate emitter and receiver. The CX-21 has a long range, 33 ft (11.48 m). When this sensor is installed with the
emitter and receiver less than 33 ft (11.48 m) apart, the unused range (also called the “excess gain”) provides enough power to enable the sensor to shine right through lubricant and other contaminants. The CX-21 has a switch to select light-on or dark-on operating mode. Use the dark-on (beam break) mode for detecting part or slug ejection, or short feed. Use the light-on (beam make) mode for detecting a hole in the strip. The CX-21 uses infrared light. An optional aperture kit with two apertures (one for the emitter and one for the receiver) is available for use in tight clearance applications such as slug detection, or when a more precise beam is required to detect smaller parts or features.
 

Optical Convergent Sensors

Optical Convergent Sensors are reflective photo-sensors with the emitter and receiver in the same housing. The MQ-W20 has three beams (one emitter and two receivers), and uses triangulation to set a precise actuation point (focal area) at an adjustable distance in front of the sensor. Any object outside of the focal area, whether it is closer or more distant, is ignored. The MQ-20W features a rugged, die-cast metal housing, with a detecting range of 1 to 8 in. (25.4 to 203.2 mm). It can be used for detecting parts on a conveyor, blanks sliding down a chute, or anywhere a precise reflective photosensor is needed.
 

Photoelectric Fork Sensors

A Photoelectric Fork Sensor is a through-beam photosensor with a prealigned emitter and receiver permanently housed in a U-shaped cast metal case. The sensor’s resemblance to a tuning fork gives it its name. Used primarily for short-feed detection, the RT-610-50 is typically installed at the end of the die to detect either a hole or the edge of the strip. The RT-610-50 is available in a light-on version for hole detection, a dark-on version for edge detection, and without a connector for use with the HD19 or QDP kits.

Self Contained Proximity Sensors

3 mm sensor: 0.020 in. (0.6 mm) range (non-threaded body) This sensor is precise enough to detect stripper position at BDC to within 0.001 in. (0.025 mm), or detect holes as small as 0.020 in. (0.51 mm).

8 mm sensor:0.060 in. (1.5 mm) range (M8 threaded body). This is a general purpose sensor for detecting feed, transfer, cam return, etc.

12 mm sensor:0.100 in. (2.5 mm) range (M12 threaded body) This is a general purpose sensor for detecting feed, transfer, cam return, etc.

18 mm sensor: 0.200 in. (5 mm) range (M18 threaded body). This is a general purpose sensor for detecting feed, transfer, cam return, etc.

30 mm sensor:0.400 in. (10 mm) range (M30 threaded body). This sensor is usually used to detect buckle, or end of stock, or can be mounted in a chute to detect part ejection.
