is designed for scanning thin sheet metal, plastic sheets and corrugated cardboard with thicknesses exceeding the working range of the dbk+4 sensors. The principle behind the operation is the same as for the dbk+4 sensors. The main difference between the systems lies in the materials to the detected. (For further information, see dbk+4.)
in the range of applications of the dbk+5 are sheet metal up to approx. 2 mm thick (depending on the type of metal), plastic sheets and boards for printed circuits up to a thickness of several millimetres, and coarse corrugated card.
Papers require the sensors to be mounted perpendicular to the passing sheets. But in the case of sheet metal, plastic sheets and boards for printed circuits, it is preferable to mount the dbk+5 at an angle of 10–18° to the passing sheets. The optimum angle should be determined by way of trials. Corrugated cards should be scanned at an angle of 35–45° to the corrugations.
are housed in M18 x 1 mm threaded sleeves which should be mounted from 30 to 70 mm apart.
