INSTALLATION & APPLICATION GUIDE

The DETECTOR PROBE is an electro-mechanical device used as a method to detect a mechanical event. It may be used in routine or specialized applications within the tooling and machinery industries. Common applications include; pitch detection in metal stamping tools, position sensing in machinery, and other mechanical applications. The detector may be used in a "normally closed" (NC) or "normally open" (NO) mode of operation. The PROBE is a "ground" sensing device. The following illustrations indicate the basic principle of operation. When the mechanical rod or detail is pushed upwards, which indicates a fault, the indentation will either contact or electrically disconnect. Illustration "C" shows a commonly used machining detail, though others are possible depending on the user’s specific application.

ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS & CONSIDERATIONS:

Multiple Probe Usage

There are occasions when multiple holes or details may require verification. The following illustration indicates such an application where a metal stamped part must have 13 pierced holes.
