CROSS BEAM LABEL DETECTORS
P/N 22353
P/N 32769
Kit, Label Inspection, Cross Beam
Kit, X - Beam, Head Mounted
System Descriptions
The Cross Beam Label Detector, P/N 22353, (Figure 1), and the
Head
- Mounted Cross Beam Label Detector, P/N 32769, (Figure
2), are optional accessories for the FT - 50 system. The Cross
Beam Label Detector is mounted on the Kit, Mounting Bracket,
Inspection Station,
P/N 22344. The Head Mounted Cross Beam
Label Detector is mounted on blocks bolted to the FT
- 50's
bottom. Both Label Detectors are operated by the FT
- 50. Both
Label Detectors check bottles that are transparent
to infrared
radiation for the presence of body labels.
Each Label Detector uses two infrared photoelectric transmitters
and
two infrared receivers, placed diagonally at 45° to the flow
of bottles on the conveyor. Each transmitter transmits across the
Production Conveyor to its receiver. When
a liquid - filled
transparent unlabeled bottle passes between
a transmitter and its
receiver, the transmitter's light beam refracts away from the
receiver, except during
a brief interval when the beam is passing
straight through the bottle's centerline.
If the bottle has a body
label, no infrared light reaches the receiver during this
centerline
interval. Each transmitter - receiver pair is connected
to
a Photo Amplifier (P/N 19140). Both Label Detectors each
have two Photo Amplifiers; they are located either in the
Inspection Station Electronic Enclosure (Label Detector P/N
22353) or in the
FT - 50 (Label Detector P/N 32769). In the Label
Detector
P/N 22353, the outputs from both Photo Amplifiers are
combined (logically OR’ed) onto
a single FT - 50 Sensor input
line. In the Label Detector P/N 32769, each Photo Amplifier
output is connected to
a separate FT - 50 Sensor input line. The
FT
- 50 compares the logic state of the Sensor input line (Label
Detector P/N 22353) or the logic state of each of the two Sensor
input lines (Label Detector P/N 32769) to an internal table to
determine if the bottle should be accepted
or rejected.
Power (+20 VDC) and a Ground reference are supplied by the
FT
- 50 Main Terminal Block TB1, through the cable connecting
the FT
- 50 to the Inspection Station JunctionBox.
Both Label Detectors require that a High Resolution Encoder
(Assembly
P/N 24997, Installation Kit P/N 24444), driven by the
Production Conveyor, be connected
to the FT - 50. The High
Resolution Encoder is installed per Installation Drawing I-00425.
The Encoder enables the FT
- 50 to precisely track when each
bottle's centerline is passing through the cross beam measure
-
Industrial Dynamics Company Ltd. Document 3003-0395 I

ment point. This enables the FT - 50 to accept only those bottles
with body labels, instead of unlabeled bottles (which would
appear to have body labels by being measured early or late).

NOTE
A minimum 1 inch bottle spacing on the Production Conveyor
is
required. Failure to maintain this spacing may result in
bottles being falsely accepted or rejected.
Function Descriptions
The FT - 50 software contains specific functions that define the
inspection parameters for the Label Detector Sensors and
Display, and reset the contents of the Reject Counters. These
functions are:
BOTTLE FINISH
Function Key: MISSING BODY STATUS
TRIGGER TO LABEL (Label Detector P/N
LOOK DIST LABEL
ADJUST DIST LABEL
22353 only)
COUNTERS
Function Key: TOTAL MISSING BODY
RESET MISSING BODY LBL
These functions can be either Status functions (displaying output
to the operator), Command functions (accepting input from the
operator, or Status/Command functions (displaying output and
accepting input).
MISSING BODY STATUS - (STATUS/COMMAND)
Toggles inspection for body labels ON or OFF. Enables the
function to be turned ON or OFF
in both the OPERATE and the
CALIBRATE modes.
(Range: ON or OFF, Default: OFF)

Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Document 3003-0395

TRIGGER TO LABEL - (STATUS/COMMAND)
The distance, in millimeters, between the center point of the
Inspection Trigger Beam and the center point of the Label
Detector. This distance is used by the processor to establish the
proper timing for label inspection.
For Label Detector P/N 22353, the Default distance is 150 mm,
and a user message to enter the measured distance appears on
the Display.
For Label Detector P/N 32769, the Default distance is 102 mm,
and a user message does not appear on the Display.
LOOK DlST LABEL - (STATUS/COMMAND)
Adjusts the distance, in millimeters, during which the label
sensor output will be evaluated by the processor. This
gate is
centered on the center point of the Label Detector.
(Range: 1
- 25 mm, Default 12 mm)
ADJUST DlST LABEL - (STATUS/COMMAND)
For Label Detector 22353, adjusts the distance set in TRIGGER
TO LABEL, using the
FT - 50 Display as a monitor.
For Label Detector P/N 32769, enables adjustment of the 102
mm default Trigger
to Label distance.
This function is used in Calibrate Mode. Refer to Sensor
Mechanical Alignment
(page 9), and Sensor Calibration (page
10).
TOTAL MISSING BODY - (STATUS)
Displays the total number of containers that failed inspection for
the Body Labels since the last time the counter was reset.
(Range:
0 - 99,999,999)
RESET MISSING BODY - (COMMAND)
When selected and executed by pressing either UP or DOWN
arrow key, resets the
TOTAL MISSING BODY Reject counter. If
the previous count value is to be saved, it must be recorded
externally; there is
no storage for the counter value once it is
reset.
Industrial Dynamics Company Ltd. Document 3003-0395 5

LAST REJECT DETECTED - (STATUS)
Displays the cause for the last reject. If caused by a missing
label, the bottom line of the Liquid Crystal Display
shows MISSING BODY. Following either
of these
messages, there will be up
to six numbers (example: MISSING
BODY
- 4,5,6, 1), corresponding to the number or numbers for
the Sensors which saw
a label.
ALARM MISSING BODY LBL - (STATUS/COMMAND)
Sets the number of consecutive MISSING BODY rejects that
cause an alarm condition. Rejects must be consecutive. Each
good container that passes through the FT - 50 will reset the
Alarm Counter to zero.
(Range:
OFF, 1 - 250, Default: OFF)

Installation Requirements and Instructions
The X - Beam Label Detector P/N 32769 is already installed as an
integral
part of the FT - 50. User installation is not required.
Perform the following steps to install Label Detector
P/N 22353:
1. Double - check the indents of the upstream positioning Guide
Rails.
Measure, and adjust both Guide Rail indents as
required to
ensure that the upstream Guide Rails position
the Production Bottles
exactly on the FT - 50 and Inspection
Station
(P/N 22353 only) centerline, as shown in Installation
Drawing
1 - 00412.
NOTE
This Guide Rail measurement is critical for proper Label
Detector operation.
Ensure that the Guide Rails are positioned
correctly.
If, due to Guide Rail positioning error, the bottles
flow
on one side of the FT - 50 and Inspection Station
centerline,
the Label Detector P/N 32769 cannot be adjusted
to operate correctly, and the Inspection Station Vertical Tubes
supporting Label Detector
P/N 22353 must be offset to
compensate for the error.
CAUTION
Shut down and lock out drive power to the Production
Conveyor and Takeaway Conveyor
2. Install the Inspection Station and the wiring from the
Inspection Station‘s JunctionBox to the FT
- 50 per Installation
Drawing 1
- 00399.
Industrial Dynamics Company Ltd. Document 3003-0395 7

NOTE
For best results, the Label Detector centerline should be at
least
18 in. downstream from the outside edge of the FT - 50.
This allows approximately
13 in. working space between the
FT - 50 and the Label Detector, should the FT - 50 require service.
Similarly, the Label Detector centerline should
be at least 10
in. upstream from the Proline rejector's centerline, to ensure
that bottles have approximately
3 in. clearance from the Label
Detector's outermost edge when they are rejected.
The correct position of the Inspection Station Horizontal and
Vertical Tubes relative
to the centerlines of the Production
Conveyor and bottles, as shown in Installation Drawing
I -
00399, is critical in determining inspection accuracy. When
installing the Inspection Station:
The Production Bottle's center must be placed exactly on
the Production Conveyor Centerline, and
The Inspection Station must be installed so that the
Centering
Tool's point (0,0 point on the Horizontal Tube's
scales) is suspended directly over the center of the
Production Bottle's
cap.
2. Using the Production Bottle on the Production Conveyor's
centerline as
a reference aid, install the Label Detector
Assembly on the Inspection Station. Position the Label
Detector Assembly approximately
1 in. (25 - 30 mm) above
the labels to be inspected.
