photocell pitch phase

[mhassan09]

Hi,

I am working with a liquid filling machine (starwheels with clamps to move the bottles while monitored with photocells) and I hope to get this parameters explained :

-pitch phase for bf3 reading : 60 pulse

-distance between bf3 and bf5 : 39 pitches

bf3,bf5 are photocells .

thanks

Taking a SWAG from long ago experience with a bottle examining machine with a star wheel:
There may be an encoder on the bottle moving conveyor or chain that outputs 60 pulses per pitch. The pitch may be the distance between bottles on the delivery device.
EG, Bottle spacing or pitch 6 Inches.
The encoder outputs one pulse every 6/60=0.1 inches.
If this works for you great.
If not, it is just a "Silly Wild Asset Guess".
