BACK-TO-BACK AUTO-SAMPLING

Updates to the HMI's software has enabled the PG5600 to interface with a production line's PLC, facilitating the sending and receiving of 'Get Can' and 'Got Can' commands. These commands instruct the PG5600 to deliver a single can or multiple cans for testing. This feature allows the PG5600 to directly request cans from the conveyor, enhancing operational efficiency and simplifying the quality control process.

Exisiting PG5600 HMI's can be upgraded with the latest gauge control software to enable this new functionality. Learn more about the PG5600™ auto-sampling feature

COMPREHENSIVE AUTOMATIC SELF MONITORING

  • Electrolyte condition check
  • Test head confirmation check with built-in test resistors
  • Can contact and electrolyte level check
  • Test voltage monitoring and compensation

NEW, EFFICIENT CAN HANDLING SYSTEM

Simultaneous, multi-station fill, test, and empty operations allow for fast and efficient throughput.

REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS

Maintenance costs are kept to minimum because no Windows PC and no fill/empty pumps are used on this gauge

SIMPLE TO USE

Integrated touch screen with easy-to-follow user interface. Test data is sent via a serial cable (similar to Sencon's SI9100 manual gauge).

REPORTING DATA

Test data is output via RS485 serial data cable. This data format can be handled by most plant SPC systems. (A separate application - SX1000 Data Bridge - is available for plants that use .csv format).

HIGH SPEED 

Test results are needed quickly on modern, high speed lines to allow rapid adjustment or immediate intervention. Fast processing with a 24 can batch completed in only 6 minutes.

MULTI-SIZE 

The PG5600 automatically processes cans of differing heights and diameters without any changes.

SMALL FOOTPRINT 

The gauge's dimensions make it suitable for restricted spaces such as locating next to a palletizer or in the spray area. The cabinet can even be split into two parts for installation in tight spots, and reassembled once in place.

CONVEYOR SIZES

The PG5600 has 3 infeed options: Standard with a 24 batch capacity, Mass for upto 200 cans and Short for connection to existing track-work.
