Introduction to the 487 sensor

The SENCON 11-487-00 is a self-contained metal
discriminator proximity switch; an excellent choice for
can line machine control. The sensor detects wall-ironed
aluminum over carbide tooling and is designed to act as
"short can" detector to protect the tooling in wall ironing
machines.
The integral electronics interface directly with
discrete logic or computer controlled systems and
are encapsulated inside an all metal housing. This
makes it resistant to shock, vibration, coolant oils, and
Sencon's 11-487-00 Short Can Sensor can be used to replace the following sensors: 9-287-03, 11-287-63, 11-287-33,
11-287-53, 9H-387-56, 11-387-S1.
The 11-487-00 is a direct replacement for some of the sensors above while others will require a wiring change in the
bodymaker.

Short Can Timing Window

The short can window dictates when the sensor's output is
checked for missing can wall. i.e. a short can or tear off.
As a guide, the short can timing window is active when the
sensor is 100% covered by the punch at around 135
the top of the can just starts to uncover the sensor at 155
this depends on the height of the can body, and is typically
between 155 and 165 .

It is important to check these settings, by manually moving
the punch to the two positions and confirming the angles
displayed from the control system.

humidity. Thermal stability and repeatability provide reliable
performance over a wide temperature range.
Multiple punch types are supported-No longer is a discrete
sensor required for different punch materials and magnetic
characteristics.
The 487 series Short Can Sensor is loaded with additional
Punch Discrimination Packs to discriminate most of the
current punch types.
For best performance Sencon suggests the installation
practices described here are strictly followed.
