NEXiS™ CS5G / CS1000 Series

Features

• Provide PI control of insulation thickness on wire and cable insulation extrusion lines.
• Proton Products advanced line control software runs on the NEXiS™ CS5G touch screen industrial PC which controls either a NEXiS™ CS1000-S or NEXiS™ CS1000-T controller unit.
• Can control either one extruder or capstan drive (NEXiS™ CS1000-S) or two extruders (NEXiS™ CS1000-T) for double extrusion lines (such as for nylon jacketed, PVC-insulated THWN or THHN cables).
• NEXiS™ CS1000-S controller can receive diameter measurement data from up to 3 DG gauges; NEXiS™ CS1000-T controller can receive diameter measurement data from up to 6 DG gauges.
• Independent setting of tolerances, shrinkage, alarm functions and speed input.
• Highly versatile and customizable control solution which can be adapted to almost any extrusion application.
• Integrates seamlessly with Proton Products InteliSENS™ SL and SLR Series Speed and Length Gauges for line speed measurement.
• Integrates seamlessly with Proton Products InteliSENS™ DG series diameter gauges for insulation diameter measurement.
• Housed in a 19-inch rack-mountable enclosure.

Introduction

The Proton Products NEXiS^TM CS5G Series of production line controllers are for use on wire insulation or other extrusion production lines.

NEXiS^TM CS5G Systems consist of a NEXiS^TM CS5G touch screen PC connected to either a NEXiS^TM CS1000-S (single extruder or capstan drive) or NEXiS^TM CS1000-T (double extruder) controller. The NEXiS^TM CS5G functions as a sophisticated user interface for configuring and monitoring the NEXiS^TM CS1000 controller.

NEXiS^TM CS1000 controllers connect to Proton Products diameter gauges and speed and length gauges for measurement of insulation diameter and line speed respectively. These measurements are then fed into a PI feedback controller whose fully-isolated and floating output may be used to drive insulation extruders or capstan drives.

Insulation diameter is thus actively controlled and kept within tolerance by the NEXiS^TM CS1000 controller.
