PROBE SCANNING SYSTEM AND BUILT-IN BURDEN MATERIAL DEFINING SENSOR

摘要

The probe scanning system consisting of a horizontal probe, probe-positioning mechanism with a drive, burden material defining sensor, probe displacement transducer, limit switches, a computing device, a unit of analog-to-digital converters whose information inputs are connected to the sensor, transducer and limit switches, and information outputs - to the computing device inputs, is equipped with a probe drive control unit and a stockline monitoring device with its drive and the drive control unit, where the inputs of the control units are connected to the outputs of the computing device, and the information output of the stockline monitoring device is connected to the input of the unit of analog-to-digital converters. The burden material defining sensor is additionally equipped with a conducting rod, located along the sensor body longitudinal axis, and a longitudinal insulating liner between the sensor body and the conducting rod, where the latter has a transverse insulating gasket and a fairing, which serve as a contact element, fixed on its one end, and on the other end there are a transverse insulating compensate gasket and clamping elements to secure the conducting rod and insulating gasket position in the sensor body.
