  • Page 7: Introduction

    NTRODUCTION Proton Products InteliSENS™ SL Series of Non-Contact Laser Doppler Speed and Length gauges measure products that are made in a continuous process such as cable, pipe, steel, paper, plastic sheet, film and another product running continuously. Two laser beams The gauge uses two laser beams to create a laser Doppler fringe on the product surface.
  • Page 8 How it works The gauge is typically used to measure the speed (and therefore length) of strips, sheets and cables. The gauge emits two laser beams at a moving object and analyses the reflected light to obtain extremely accurate measurements. At the point where the laser beams cross, a pattern of light bars is projected onto the surface of the measured object.
  • Page 9 Two laser beams are emitted from the SLMKII gauge head. The measured product should be positioned at the point of convergence of the two laser beams. A Doppler light pattern is created on the product surface. Defects passing through this pattern generate a particular light frequency, which is detected by the SLMKII gauge head.

    ASER SAFETY STANDARDS If your country or state has no regulations governing the safe use of lasers, Proton recommends that you follow the guidelines specified by the European standard: BS EN 60825-1:2007 “Safety of laser products. Part 1.
  • Page 31 Do not look directly into the laser beams If the human eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, a Class 3B (IIIb) laser is hazardous. This means that looking directly into the laser beam as it emerges from the gauge head is hazardous, but not looking at the laser spot on the measured product, unless the surface of the product has mirror-like reflectivity.
  • Page 32: Example Class 3B (Iiib) Laser Warning Signs

    Do not use a dirty cloth to clean the laser window. • If the gauge head is not fitted with a cooling system (contact Proton Products for details), keep the unit away from very hot surfaces and areas. The standard gauge is designed for use in temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 45°C (113°F).

The stand-off distances and depths of field for each SL MKII gauge head are as follows: Gauge head type Stand-off distance (distance from Depth of field laser window to measured product)
  • Page 47: Depth Of Measurement Field

    EPTH OF MEASUREMENT FIELD When the SL MKII gauge is powered on, the two red laser beams are directed at an angle, the centres of which cross at a point 150, 300, 600 or 1200 mm from the gauge head, depending on the gauge head type. When the SL is positioned at the optimum distance from the measured product, the two laser beams form a single red dot on the surface of the product.
  • Page 48: Measuring Different Object Shapes And Materials

    MEASURING DIFFERENT OBJECT SHAPES AND MATERIALS BJECT TYPES Most continuously produced materials can be measured by the gauge, if the gauge is positioned and set up correctly. In certain cases, it may be necessary to make slight adjustments. The following are notes on various different materials with regard to measurement using the gauge.
  • Page 49: Object Size

    BJECT SIZE Measured object smaller than laser spot When the object size is less than the spot width, then the reflectivity of the surface is particularly important. For example, an SL1525 gauge should be able to measure a bare, shiny copper wire down to 0.3 mm in diameter.
  • Page 50: Power Supply To The Gauge Head

    OWER SUPPLY TO THE GAUGE HEAD POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE The recommended voltage for the power supply is +24V. The DC power supply must be at least 18V. The maximum voltage is 30V. OWER CONSUMPTION If the gauge is used without an AiG2 display, power consumption is approximately 12W. If the AiG2 display is attached to the gauge head, total power consumption is about 18W.
  • Page 51: Power Supply Ground / Earth

    OWER SUPPLY GROUND EARTH ALL INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED There is an earth bolt on the gauge head, and this should be connected to earth via a 6mm cable for safety reasons. If a screened cable is being used for the gauge head power supply, the D-connector will connect the screen to the body of the gauge so the cable screen can be used as means to earth the gauge.

  • Page 53: Possible Error Messages On Powering On The Gauge

    Check that the gauge case is not above 45 degrees Celsius: it is possible that external heat is making the laser diode too hot to operate effectively. Contact your Proton Products agent for information regarding cooling or heating the gauge case.

    ASIC MAINTENANCE CHECKS HYSICAL CONDITION OF THE GAUGE HEAD The physical condition of the input and output cables, the display head and keypad, the electrical adapter and the gauge case should be checked periodically. If you suspect that they are damaged, contact your supervisor immediately to discuss repair or replacement of the damaged parts.

    AUGE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS To monitor the performance of the gauge head and ensure continuous, accurate performance, the gauge provides a range of performance indicators. : DW14) OOD READING PERCENTAGE UTPUT PARAMETER Icon on AiG2: The number of successful speed reading calculations per second as a percentage of 24000. A good reading of 50% therefore represents a figure of 12000 successful speed calculations per second.
