Receivers and transmitters - Import export

The transmission sensor ACS3 is applied for measurements of self-luminous objects and transparent objects as well. Measuring the colour of self-luminous objects requires only the receiver unit, whereas a transmitter and a receiver unit are necessary when detecting transparent objects. The transmitter and the receiver unit can easily be fixed by means of a mounting set.

The optoCONTROL 2520 is a compact laser micrometer with integrated controller. A high resolution, model variant with measuring ranges of 46 mm and 95 mm as well as variable mounting distances allow a wide range of applications in quality monitoring and production control. The measurement object can be placed at any position within the light curtain and the distance from transmitter to receiver can be freely selected.

Wireless signal transmission The signals are transmitted from wireless touch probes to the SE transmitter/receiver unit via • radio or infrared for the TS 460, • infrared for the TS 444, TS 642, TS 740. This makes these touch probes ideal for use on machines with automatic tool changers. The following transmitter/receiver units are available: • SE 660 for radio and infrared transmission; shared SE for TS 460 and TT 460 • SE 540 only for infrared transmission, for integration in the spindle head • SE 642 only for infrared transmission, shared SE for TS and TT The SE 660 communicates with the TS 460 and TT 460. The SE 540 and SE 642 can be used in any combination with the TS 4xx, TS 642 and TS 740 touch probes.

The TT 160 and TT 460 tool touch probes aretouch trigger probes for the measurement and inspection of tools. The TT 160 features signal transmission by cable, while the TT 460 communicates wirelessly over a radio or infrared beam with the SE 660 transmitter/receiver unit. The disk-shaped probe contact of the TT is defl ected during physical probing of a tool. At that moment the TT generates a trigger signal that is transmitted to the control, where it is processed further. The trigger signal is generated through a wear-free optical switch that ensures high reliability. The probe contact is easy to exchange. The connection pin to the contact plate features a rated break point. This protects the touch probe from physical damage due to operator error.
