OI: BK MIKRO LIN.B Characteristics BK MIKRO LIN.B is a tool monitoring system customized for longitudinal scanning applications. The complete BK MIKRO LIN.B system comprises • a control unit, • a sensor (scanner), • a connection cable. BK MIKRO LIN.B is based on existing design concepts for tool, object and free space monitoring. These system monitors geometries, which require longitudinal scanning, especially in cases where rotary scanning is inappropriate or impossible, for example cavities, bore holes, limited space arrangements or critical coolant pressure.
BA: LS-IC/BK MIKRO LIN.B System Components Control unit The control unit is available in three models preconfigured for different supply voltages. The relevant version will be marked on the rating plate: 24 VDC, 120 VAC, 230 VAC. On its front panel, the control unit is fitted with plug-in screw terminals to connect all machine inputs and outputs, supply voltage, and the scanner.

These two terminals are used to indicate a no fault message, i.e. a good cycle (O.K.). The terminals have been designed as dry relay contacts. By switch selection, they may be configured as either normally open or normally closed.
BA: LS-IC/BK MIKRO LIN.B 2.1.4 Rotary switches Only for "Multi”! The two rotary switches P1 and P2 are used to set the start position and the end position of the range, which is controlled by object monitoring or free space monitoring. The position settings are possible in steps of 6.25%.

For "Teach-in" and "Start" cycle, in case of a good message, the impact force amounts to: approx. 5 N approx. 9 N "Output relay" switch Mode of operation for the two output relays (see section "Relay outputs").
BA: LS-IC/BK MIKRO LIN.B 2.1.6 Notes on technical safety according to DIN VDE 160 according to EMC directive 89/336/EEC for the models with power supply 24 VDC and 120 VAC The control unit comprises the following circuits, all isolated from each other: K.O.
OI: BK MIKRO LIN.B Scanner The scanner housing is cylindrical and smooth, thus permitting easy installation (e.g. by using a mounting bracket). The scanner is designed for easy access for servicing and changing the wand's tip. Aligning the scanner is easy and requires no additional instruments or aids. After a supply voltage has been applied, the scanner travels from the momentary position to the internal backstop, moves into its stop position and will be held there by applying a low voltage.

BA: LS-IC/BK MIKRO LIN.B Connection cable Control unit and scanner are connected by a 6-wire PUR-cable: • Small circular connector to DIN 45322 at the control unit end. • Molded plug at the scanner end. • Length 5 m, can be extended to a maximum length of approximately 25 m with extension cables.
OI: BK MIKRO LIN.B Mode of Operation BK MIKRO LIN.B can be operated in different ways: • Monitoring with learn function (Teach mode), especially for "Multi": 8 different scanning positions can be binary coded. • Monitoring with setting scanning range (Switch mode), possible only for "Multi".
BA: LS-IC/BK MIKRO LIN.B Output of results • Fault message (K.O.) A fault message will be output immediately on detection. The scanner will return to its stop position. • Good cycle message (O.K.) On reaching the stop position, scanning process results will be indicated. This ensures that the scanner will have left the monitoring range at the time the results are output and that there are no further waiting periods to be considered.
OI: BK MIKRO LIN.B Monitoring Functions Teach mode = Monitoring with learn function "Multi": One of the possible monitoring functions, requirement: P1=0, P2=0 "Single": Standard monitoring function The scanning range will be determined by a learn cycle (external control signal). This mode of operation is the typical mode for tool detection applications: The system will check for the presence of the tool at the learned position.
BA: LS-IC/BK MIKRO LIN.B 4.1.2 "Start", the real scanning process Active input signal on the "Start" screw terminal of the control unit. The scanner will travel to the previously "learned" position of the object to check for its presence. • If the tool is within the monitoring range, the "O.K."...
OI: BK MIKRO LIN.B Switch mode = Monitoring with setting the scanning range Only for "Multi" ! Requirement: Rotary switches 0 ≤ P1 < P2 ≤ 93.75 Rotary switch P1 and P2 settings will define the scanning range, in steps of 6.25%. Monitoring range P1 = start position...
BA: LS-IC/BK MIKRO LIN.B 4.2.3 Setting the position The preset position results from the number of pulses, which the motor gives to the scanning wand through the gear. Therefore deviations in the device dimensions cause differences of the position. Note: BK MIKRO LIN.B is not an absolute measuring system ! Switch setting Position [in mm, approx.]...
