FA II Flange Detecting System

Product catalog summary

FA II Flange Detecting System Overview
The FA II Flange Detecting System is designed to detect the position of flanges on spools, automatically adjusting to new spool positions and shapes after changes. It is primarily used with pneumatically reversible rolling ring drives but can be adapted for other systems.

Functionality
A sensor mounted on the traversing system captures and saves the reference distance at a defined point. This reference is continuously compared to the measured value, triggering a reversal if the permissible height deviation is exceeded. The system is suitable for winding round materials with diameters from 0.1 to 2.0 mm on cylindrical spools.

Advantages

No manual adjustment of reversal points.
Time savings with different spool types and dimensions.
Easy operation without prior experience.
Perfect winding patterns without customer machine data.
Robust sensor technology and modular system.

Installation and Integration
The system does not require machine signals but can process a floating start signal for resetting measurements. It includes a sensor for flange detection, a holder, an energy chain, a reference point sensor, and a switch box with a controller.

Technical Data

Supply voltage: 24 VDC, 2 A.
Temperature range: -10 °C to 40 °C.
Protection class: IP 65 for the sensor, IP54 for the switch box.
Laser Class II sensor according to IEC 60825-1.

Maintenance
The system is maintenance-free, but in dusty environments, the sensor aperture should be cleaned periodically.

Options

Protective sensor enclosure with compressed air connection.
Pneumatic kit with fast-action valve and accessories.
Guide system from the GS range.
Installation and commissioning support.

FA II Flange Detecting System Application The flange detecting system detects the position of flanges on spools, regardless of the spool used. After a spool change, the system automatically adjusts to the new spool position and, where necessary, the new spool shape. The flange detecting system was specially designed for application with pneumatically reversible rolling ring drives but can also be fitted on other traversing systems after testing. Principle of Function The sensor detecting the flange is mounted on the traversing system. At a defined point, the current distance is captured and saved...

Installation and Integration The flange detecting system does not require any signals from the machine but can process the floating start signal of the machine to reset the measurement after a spool change. Resetting is also possible with a pushbutton on the controller. Valves for pneumatic reversal can be connected and/or the signals “flange detected”, “counter clockwise”, “clockwise”, and “error” can be provided to the machine controller. The flange detecting sensor is mounted below or above the material guide and aligned to the spool centre once. The minimum distance to the flange is 65 mm,...
