|
|
The DAF-100 Detect-A-Finger® drop-probe device is an electric-air system that consists of two main components: the drop-probe assembly and the control box. The standard unit can provide a stroke of up to 4" and can be mounted on the left or right side of the machine. Location of the DAF-100 should be determined by the availability of the mounting surface, the size or shape of the workpiece, and the throat depth of the machine. |

| The drop-probe assembly functions by allowing the sensing probe to drop around the point-of-operation hazard prior to each intended machine cycle. If the sensing probe encounters the operator's fingers and fails to drop to a preset position, the machine cycle will not be initiated. If there are no obstructions to prevent the sensing probe from dropping, then the control unit will allow the machine to cycle when the sensing probe reaches the preset position. |

COMPONENTS
The DAF-100 system consists of two main components: the drop-probe assembly and the control box. The drop-probe assembly consists of an air cylinder and solenoid operated air valve with an adjustable down stop locking collar, limit switch, magnetic proximity switch, and a PVC insulator block. The control box consists of a control circuit board, safety relays, and pin-type plug-in terminals.
Each DAF-100 system is furnished with one mini air filter, two mini air regulators, 25' of 5/32" PVC tubing, 4' of 1" x 2" extruded aluminum for mounting, and two plain 18" aluminum sensing probes. These sensing probes are shaped by the user to the workpiece or assembly requirements. Complete installation instructions and a maintenance manual are provided with each assembly. |
