PSI SYNCHRONIZED SHOWER SYSTEM

SINCLAIR XM-23 & 34 Reciprocator System

Sinclair's Model XM-23 & 34 are new systems for reciprocating showers on the paper machine, in which one (1) control panel can operate multiple drive units. All wetted parts are manufactured in either 316 stainless steel of anti-acid bronze, reflecting its intended use in paper mills.

CONSTRUCTION

The XM derives its operation from a rolled thread ball lead screw and recirculating ball nut fully enclosed in a stainless steel casing. The stainless steel push rod is concentric to the screw unit and is protected by a heavy-duty bellow with a telescoping cover. The drive to the lead screw is direct from a reversible A C synchronous motor. Direct drive results in the shortest possible reversing time and provides greater reliability. Both the motor and control sensors are fully enclosed in the stainless steel housing at the rear of the screw casing, and all electrical connections are made via a water tight connection on the motor housing, junction box, and control cabinet.

FEATURES

Variable Speed

The panel is used to set reciprocator output speed from .001" to a maximum of 13" per minute, if operating in manual mode.
Speed Matching / Tracking

Panel accepts an input (0-10 vdc or 4-20 ma) to increase or decrease drive speed.
Operator's Control Panel

A NEMA 12 composite panel w/ "HMI" and digital read-out (inches/minute), lighted ON/OFF switch, and ALARM indicators.
Easy Programming

All programming is a list of questions and numeric entries (PM speed, fabric length, stroke length, nozzle size, manual vs. remote, mode.
Adjustable Stroke

Drive units can be set-up to stroke from 0.04" to 12.0" in increments of .040" and can be reset "on the fly" at any time.
No-Motion Detector

Senses lost motion. Alarm panel indicator and customer usable 10 amp contacts are provided.
Installation Ready System

The system, as received, just needs to be mounted (panel junction box, and reciprocator), wired to each reciprocator, powered up, and programmed.
Power Requirements

Only 120/1~/60 Hz 10 amp power supply to control cabinet is required for complete operation.
Ball Mount Bracket

Allows unit to self align reciprocator with shower eliminating costly misalignment problems.

OPERATION

The XM-Series Control System facilitates a P L C controller for both the operation and monitoring of the reciprocators motion. The screw unit utilizes multiple recirculating balls for connection between screw and nut. This rolling contact gives the unit a high mechanical efficiency. The unit is capable of producing a high dynamic thrust, but even if stalled due to external axial overload, for instance, the mechanism and motor drive are unlikely to suffer any damage.

MAINTENANCE ADVANTAGES

XM uses "sealed for life" bearings and has no oils which require regular changing. The lead screw is grease lubricated and requires little maintenance.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS

The XM in its standard form can be factory or field programmed to cover a wide range of requirements. Virtually all options are incorporated into the standard control system of the XM reciprocator system. We realize there may be applications outside these specifications. Sinclair engineers are always available to consider and discuss alternative options that the customer may wish to add to the control system.
