HOW VORTEX SHEDDING FLOW METER WORKS

When fluid passes by a bluff, oscillations occur. Examples of these oscillations in nature include the
swirls produced downstream of a rock in a rapidly flowing river, or the waving of a flag in the wind with
the bluff being the flag pole.

DeltaPoint Unit Supply Water Leg example above: The fluid strikes a bluff body (A), generating
vortices (B) (eddies) that move downstream. The vortices form alternately, from one side to the other.
A piezoelectric sensor housed in a sensor tube (C) directly downstream of the bluff senses the
pressure zones created by the vortices. The sensor generates a frequency directly proportional to the
vortices (flow). The pulses are then measured by the microprocessor.

Each DeltaPoint Unit has two vortex shedding flow meters. One flow meter monitors the supply path,
and the other flow meter monitors the return path along with the temperature probe.
PLEASE NOTE: Bluff / Sensors not effected by dirty water.

HOW THE DELTAPOINT MONITORS COOLING WATER IN THE


ROBOTICS CELL
Each DeltaPoint unit has two vortex shedding flow meters. One flow meter monitors the supply path,
and the other flow meter monitors the return leg. The fluid strikes a bluff body, generating vortices
(eddies) that move downstream. The vortices form alternately, from one side to the other. A
piezoelectric sensor housed in a sensor tube directly downstream of the bluff senses the pressure
zones created by the vortices. The sensor generates a frequency directly proportional to the vortices
(flow). The pulses are then measured by the microprocessor.

An internal temperature sensor, housed in a small thermo well downstream of the return flow sensor,
measures the fluid temperature.

The robotic cooling water enters through the SUPPLY port and travels through the inlet flow sensor,
continues through the TO CELL port and to the equipment to be cooled. Water that has cooled the
equipment reenters the unit through the FROM CELL port, through the return flow sensor and is then
discharged into the plant return water system.

The inlet and outlet flow meter signals are compared. When a cap is pulled or a hose bursts the flow in
the return leg drops below the supply leg. The microprocessor detects this difference and signals the
weld controller to stop welding. It also shuts off the cooling water via a solenoid valve in the supply leg
and a check valve in the return leg, thus stopping the water flow in both directions.

No field adjustment required, each unit is calibrated and tested at the factory. In fact no adjustments or
tweaking needed even out of the box. Just connect the power and the unit is ready for operation. If
custom adjustments preferred the unit is very easy to program for the following: FLOW OK, MINIMUM
FLOW, LOW and HIGH TEMPERATURE, LEAK RATE, RESPONSE TIME or RESTART DELAY and
finally USA or METRIC setting.

INSTALLATION
1 DeltaPoint unit is preferred to be mounted on the outside of the fence line, for ease of service.

2 DeltaPoint can be mounted in any orientation: horizontally, vertically or at any other angle. The
orientation has no effect on performance. It is suggested that unions or hosing be used when
connecting to the main supply and return piping, this will facilitate ease of maintenance or removal
of unit if needed.

3 The Cover can be rotated 180° to change the location of the shut off devices. Contact factory.

4 Caution: Brass pipe nipples installed on the “Supply” and “From Cell” ports cannot be removed.
They are needed for proper operation of the flow sensors

5 See DIMENSIONS for mounting hole pattern.

6 Connecting fluid ports: The unit has ¾-inch NPT female pipe ports. Port 1 “SUPPLY” cooling water
into the unit, Port 2 “TO CELL” cooling water to tooling or robot, Port 3 “FROM CELL” returns water
from the cell or robot. Port 4 “RETURN” cooling water leaving the DeltaPoint unit.

7 Units can be installed where the pipe or hose diameter is larger than the port size. Do not exceed
¾-pipe or hose diameter with the 4 GPM unit and 1-inch pipe or hose diameter with the 12 GPM
unit.
Caution: Water flow cannot exceed 5 GPM for a 4 GPM unit and 15 GPM for a 12 GPM unit.

8 Connecting electrical power. All units have an Electrical Callout Tag reference page 20 that
describes the pin number, location, wire color and function.

9 Caution: When the water inlet ball valves is opened do it SLOWLY to prevent water hammer
damage to the SENSORS.

10 Installation is complete.

START-UP TEST CYCLE


Shut-Off Fault Alarm and Weld Controller Fault Alarm Test

If unit is operational with water flow present:


1. Turn one of the cooling water ball valves OFF.
2. The LCD screen indicates “Water Flow Fault.”
3. The LED status lights indicate that:
a) Minimum/Low Flow – Solid (Yellow)
b) Shut-Off Closed – Solid (Red)
4. The DIN Connector LED is OFF because the shut-off valve solenoid coil is deactivated.
5. Confirm that the Weld Controller received “Water Flow Fault”.
6. Open the cooling water ball valve; push RESTART. Unit should be activated as described above.
7. If no problems occurred, proceed to the next test. If unit did not pass, see TROUBLESHOOTING.

Leak and Response Time Test

If unit is operational with water flow present:


1. Pull off one of the weld gun arm electrode caps.
2. The water shuts off and the LCD screen indicates “Fault.” Status Lights #1 and #3 are activated.
3. Reinstall weld gun cap.
4. Send a remote RESTART or push RESTART on the front panel of the unit and wait 3 seconds for
the unit to return to normal operation.
5. Pull off the other weld gun arm cap. And verify Steps 1-4, above.
6. If a faster response time is needed, lower the response time and/or the leak rate (see USER
MENU).
CAUTION:
• If the setting gets too low or is too fast, false leak faults could occur. Continue testing until
satisfactory results are obtained.
• Long hose runs increase response time.
7. If the unit passed the above tests, it is ready for the production line.

MAINTENANCE
DeltaPoint water savers require no maintenance. If the flow tubes become clogged with debris, the unit
should be removed for service and cleaning. Significant clogging may result in erratic operation, errors
or faults. Do not place tools into the tubes, as this may permanently damage the vortex sensor. The
vortex sensor cannot be repaired.

To clean the flow tubes, remove the shut-off valve and check valve. Run clean water into the
downstream end of each leg. Large objects jammed against the bluff body may be dislodged by lightly
tapping the upstream end of the flow tube against a firm surface. CAUTION: Do not tap the flow tube
too hard or damage may occur.

Shut-Off Valve
The manufacturer recommends that the diaphragm be removed and cleaned periodically. The
operation of the valve is based on small orifices functioning properly. Depending on the level of water
contamination, cleaning frequency could vary from monthly to yearly. If a low-maintenance type valve
is required and air is available, please contact factory and request information on the air-operated shut-
off valve.

Check Valve
If check valve is leaking, it may be disassembled and cleaned.

Cleaning
These meters do not require any special cleaning of the external surfaces. If cleaning is deemed
necessary, strong solvents, detergents, or chemicals should not be used. A damp cloth may be used to
wipe off dirt or debris.

Note
If used outside the parameters specified in this manual, the proper operation of the flowmeter cannot
be guaranteed.

PROBLEM EXPLANATION/SOLUTION
9 Flushing the Bluff Procedure to flush the Bluff Chamber:
Step 1 – Closed both Supply/Return ball valves. Bleed off
the water pressure by loosening a hose downstream or
pulling a weld gun arm cap.
Step 2 – Using a 3/32 Allen Head Wrench remove both
Bluffs’ hold down screws. Remove bluffs, is there debris on
ether bluff – remove.
Step 3 – Solenoid Valve – switch to BYPASS position.
Step 4 – Tighten the bleed off hose fitting or replace cap.
Step 5 – Supply Ball Valve – With the bluffs removed flush
the sensor bodies by partially opening the valve and
spraying with short bursts for 10 seconds to flush out the
bodies. Any contamination build up should have been
removed.
Step 6 – Reverse above steps and activate the Unit for
proper operation.

10 Water doesn’t shutoff. Once both shutoff devices are closed (no electrical power).
Step 1 - Partially open the supply ball valve. If the water
flows, then there is a problem with the solenoid valve.
Step 2 - If the water does NOT flow, shut the supply ball
valve off.
Step 3 - Partially open the return valve. If the water flows,
then there is a problem with the check valve.

11 Solenoid Valve Problem Solenoid Valve will not shutoff the water:
Step 1 - Check the manual override on the valve. Confirm
that it is in the NORMAL OPERATION position.
Refer to APPENDIX Shutoff Valve Specification.
The valve could have debris blocking the balancing orifice
or the Plunger Assembly is stuck in the open position in the
Sleeve Assembly.
Step 2 - Remove the coil / Din connector assembly.
Remove the 4 screws holding the cover to the body. Turn
cover over and insert a thin wire in the balance hole
(farthest from the manual bypass knob) to insure that the
orifice is not blocked.
Step 3 – Remove the Sleeve Assembly. The internal parts
will be the Plunger and Plunger Spring. Do they move up
and down freely? If NO then clean or replace with new
Sleeve Assembly.
Step 4 - Replace the valve cap and the coil, reassemble
and confirm that this has resolved the problem by removing
another tip.

PROBLEM EXPLANATION/SOLUTION
12 Check Valve Problem Check Valve will not shut off the water.
Step 1 - The only way to remove the debris is to change
out the check valve with a replacement and then clean out
the check valve on the bench.
Step 2 - Remove the snap ring and push the piston out to
remove any debris.
Step 3 - Replace the new check valve with the cleaned
valve, reassemble and confirm that this has resolved the
problem by removing another tip.

SUPPLY FLOW Refer “COMPARISON TESTING” and “FLUSHING THE
BLUFF”.

15 Replacing the Sensor Procedure to replace the a sensor:


Step 1 - Remove Power / Ethernet Cables.
Step 2 - Turn off the water and bleed off the pressure by
loosening the hosing downstream (drains water out of
sensor chamber, preventing water leaking into electrical
box).
Step 3 – Remove the Cover – slotted screw driver.
Step 4 – Remove the Key Pad circuit board – slotted screw
driver.
Step 5 – Remove the LCD screen – #2 Phillips screw
driver.
Step 6 – Remove screws from hold-down bracket of the
sensor to be swapped – Phillips screw driver.
Step 7 - Using a pair of needle nose pliers, remove the
sensor. (Note the position of the “slot” in the sensor is
vertical, following the flow).
Step 8 – Install new sensor and o ring assembly with
needle nose pliers. CAUTION: Sensor SLOT must be
aligned “perfectly” with the water flow direction. Slot can be
rotated 180 degrees.
Step 9 - Replace the hold down bracket and screws, wipe
down any water.
Step 10 – Replace the LCD screen, Key Pad and Cover.
Step 11 – Confirm the bleed off fitting is tight and the
Supply/Return water ball valves OPEN.
Step 12 – Plug in the Power and Ethernet cables
Step 13 - Re-evaluate the unit. Push the “DOWN” Arrow.
ADVANCED TRAINING NEEDED FOR FOLLOW:
Adjusting the replaced sensor’s flow rate to match the other
sensor’s flow rate by turning the sensor pot. The flow rates
should be within 0.1 of a gallon of each other. Contact
factory for training.

PROBLEM EXPLANATION/SOLUTION
16 If all else fails If both sensors are drastically off the expected flow (by more than
a gallon) and it appears that there is a major problem. You have 2
options:
Option 1 ship the unit to Rocon for recalibration or
Option 2 Rocon can furnish electronics “kit,” which will have the
motherboard and both sensors. This would be equivalent to
replacing the entire unit.

To replace the Ethernet motherboard with its accompanying


sensors (S or I=Supply and R or O=Return):
Step 1 – Shut off the supply/return water ball valves
Step 2 - Remove Power and Ethernet cables.
Step 3 - Remove the LCD display (4 Phillips head screws) and
keypad (2 slot head screws).
Step 4 - Unplug all sensors (2 flow and 1 temp).
Step 5 - Remove the 2 slot head screws and 1 Phillips head
screws holding the mother board to the box.
Step 6 – Remove the Keypad standoff.
Step 7 – Remove motherboard
Step 8 – Remove supply sensor hold down bracket and pull the
sensor assembly out. Label with tape SUPPLY.
Step 9 – Remove the return sensor as describe in step 8.
Step 10 - Replace the sensors from the kit, follow the same
procedure as describe in “Replacing the Sensor”
Please note Kit – Supply/Return Sensor must be installed in their
respective chambers.
Step 11 – Install the Kit Motherboard, Keypad and LCD screen as
describe above.
Step 12 - Reconnect the power cables.
The unit should be operating properly.
If not, refer to “Flushing the Bluff”.
Consult factory if problem.

17 Bypass There are both electronic and manual bypasses on the units. The
electronic bypass is a button on the face of the unit, and once
pushed energizes the solenoid valve coil and sends a signal to the
robot that the unit is in bypass. The coil will continue to be
energized, until the button is pushed again.

The manual bypass overrides the solenoid coil completely. It does


not give a signal to the robot and water flow is maintained,
regardless of the unit’s status.
