Proximity sensor - Import export

Inductive sensors with factor 1 switching distance for all metals with the same switching distance without reduction factor. Proximity sensors are based on the proven inductive principle - switches con tactless when metallic objects come close due to the inductive dampening of a resonant circuit. Factor 1 sensors are used where different metals from steel to aluminium should be detected. They are, for example, used for the occupation control of presses, where different metals are used all the time.

The Intelligent Robot gripper RG2-FT is a modern gripper with additional sense of touch and intelligence. It has an integrated force/torque and proximity sensor for extremely precise automation. This enables real collaboration with human users and supports them like a helping hand. Insertion is faster and more precise. For example, this gripper can easily insert pins, which would be difficult for humans. Due to the advanced sensor technology, the gripper allows the robot to feel during assembly when a part is correctly assembled. The RG2-FT Robot gripper offers high productivity and rapid deployment, saving technicians many hours of man-hours during integration. It´s the world’s first robot gripper with integrated force/torque and proximity sensors that can see and feel objects to ensure extremely safe handling

mainSENSOR is based on an innovative measuring principle, which has been developed by Micro-Epsilon in order to combine the advantages of both inductive and magnetic sensors. Magneto-inductive sensors are frequently used as alternative to inductive sensors and proximity sensors in process automation, the packaging industry and in machine monitoring. Measuring the distance to a magnet which is fixed at the measurement object, the sensor outputs a continuous, linear signal. As different strength magnets are applied, measuring ranges of between 20 mm and 55 mm can be achieved. However, in order to adapt the measuring range, it is only necessary to change the magnet.

In practice the requirement often arises to convert the measurement signals of a sensor into a standard signal in the simplest possible manner in the immediate proximity of the sensor. This permits trouble-free, low-loss transmission of measured values over longer distances to an instrument board or plant controls. Ideally suited for this purpose is the in-line measuring amplifier, which is inserted in between in the connection cable by means of plug contacts. Owing to its compact, robust design and low weight, it finds use in almost any application. Even movable locations subject to forces of acceleration, for example manipulators, present no problems. It is intended mainly for use of control cabinets in just about any location and is matched to a specific sensor. The aluminium housing is extremely sturdy and affords the greatest possible protection even in harsh environments.

The amplifier module model 9243 is used wherever measurement signals from strain gauges, potentiometric sensors or DC/DC sensors have to be converted into standard signals. Simply by mounting on conventional DIN-mount rails, it is possible to position the amplifier module on location, in the proximity of the sensor. Especially for rough environments a IP65 version is available. The broad auxiliary power range and the choice between AC or DC permits operation on standard power supplies used in switch gear cabinets. A highly precise reference voltage source is built-in for calibration purposes. A calibrating shunt can also be connected via two separate terminals. This permits deliberate detuning of a strain gauge sensor for calibration or merely to check the measuring chain.

Customized Solution The mobile testing device may be mounted directly on the wheel nuts on any wheel on the car. The height and tilt adjustment allows optimal orientation at the wheel. Additionally, it is still supported by three proximity sensors. The evaluation and control of the testing device accepts a laptop. For easy transport, the device can be disassembled in a few steps. Curve recording and analysis via notebook. The complete unit is height adjustable via a scissors system. This can also be adapted to different shaft height.

In addition to purely switching sensors, your sensor specialist EGE also offers you inductive proximity switches with analogue output for measuring tasks. The analogue signal is proportional to the approximation of the metal part. This sensor is also available in a version up to 160° C. The proximity sensor is based on the proven inductive principle: When metallic objects come close, the resonant circuit of a coil is dampened through induction and an analogue signal generated from it. Analogue inductive are e.g. suitable for the double occupation control of metal plates, for the tensioning control of wire or for monitoring metallic brake pads.

EGE amplifier for inductive proximity sensors complement the EGE sensors for extreme conditions from 200° C and the variants for -80° C. They are used for switching point adjustment and provide functional and output indications as well as the output signals. They also provide the 24 V DC power supply. The devices can be set up intuitively using a potentiometer. The analysis devices are suitable for top-hat rail assembly in a control cabinet. For 250° C-high temperature sensors a cable amplifier is available.

Inductive proximity switches are contact-free sensors. They detect all conductive metals, regardless of whether they move or not. The achievable sensing range of the devices depends on the object material and its dimensions. The vibration-resistant sensors can be approached laterally or frontally. Inductive proximity switches are used for presence detection (e.g. goods carriers), positioning (e.g. dampers), counting (e.g. nuts /bolts), speed detection (e.g. for cog wheels), on conveyor systems (e.g. hose feedings) or distance measurements (e.g. press-in checking) of metallic objects.
