Vibration-activated metal Circuit-detection for grinders
The Damage Alert System is the first US-patented vibration-activated alert system for wood grinders. Designed specifically to allow grinder owners to detect metal objects before they have a chance to go through the mill of their machine, the “Damage Alert System” senses unwanted metal objects that enter the wood grinder, and prevents severe damage by shutting down. This system allows users to avoid the need to look through debris by hand or listen for loud noises that would alert them to trouble in the mill, and can be operated with one or two sensors depending on the necessary level of protection. Sensitivity can be adjusted to control the size of metal objects permitted through the grinder, and utilizing magnets for mounting the sensors and the control box, the Damage Alert System can be mounted quickly anywhere on a machine.
Units are quickly and easily installed by using a magnetic clamping mechanism. The transducer is typically attached to the back side of the anvil, and the control box may be attached to the grinder using bolts or four permanent magnets, in any convenient and accessible location. The transducer is connected to the electronics box with coaxial cable and connectors, and all mounting hardware, cabling and connectors necessary for normal installation are provided.
The Damage Alert System is designed as a turn-key operational unit. One or two separate sensor heads can be used, depending on the application, machine size and design, and desired level of production.
