FUNDAMENTALS OF
FERROMAGNETIC TAGGING |
|
- Two components require accurate mixing.
- Tag Component “B” with a metallic powder, ferrous,
aluminum etc.
- Monitor Component “B” before it enters the mixer.
- Monitor the final mix of Component “A” and Component
“B”.
- The ratio of mixture (“A” + “B”):
“B” is the mix ratio. If, for example Component
“B”=100, and Component (“A” + “B”)
=66.66, the mix ratio will be 66.66%. Two parts of Component
“B” for every part
of Component A.
- Deviation from this ratio will result in rejected material.
100% inspection of material.

WHAT IS THE
DIXIE CUP TEST? |
|
 |
|
Two component adhesives such as resin, catalyst have relied on the “Dixie Cup Test” since dispensing first began. Once a shift,
an operator turns off the dispensing equipment for about 15 minutes, removes the
mixing tube, and starts the “Dixie Cup Test”. The intent is
to confirm the dispensing equipment is providing the correct mix ratio. The
Components are dispensed prior to being mixed. As the mixing head
hangs in air a dixie cup is awkwardly squeezed under each outlet
hoping to avoid spillage. A second operator enters a manual dispense
mode filling the dixie cups. The two cups are weighed and the mix
ratios are “calculated“. But what is being measured? How does
weighing materials equate to the accuracy of a mixture? It doesn’t!

Thread-Chek
2000M |
|
|
|
Missing threads are rejected! Quartz accuracy and high power are combined to drive low cost
non-contact sensors. The module is a complete thread detection system with digital display,
accept/reject limits and solid state relay. Excellent stability over extreme environmental
conditions make THREAD-CHEK 2000M ideal for rejection of missing threads on the production
line. Modularity makes expansion and serviceability easy.
