Questions and Answers |
Products:
work contactless and are through their high protection class and their housing, insensitive to water, dirt, dust and chemicals.
Measurement ranges up to 5.000 mm
are mostly suitable for the measurement of linear and nonlinear movements. The compact construction allows a flexible and easy installation. Precise measurements are also possible for areas that are hard to reach. Different outputs are available. Measurement ranges up to 50.000 mm.
are well known displacement transducers. The working principle is voltage division on a hybride conductive film. It is possible to get different housings and mounting types, like versions for hydraulic cylinders, with spherical clamping, jaw mounting or spring loaded. Measurement ranges up to 2000mm.
belong to the incremental sensors and work contactless. The reading head is able to levitate over the conveyor and a zero-point unit serves the automatic reference. Measurement ranges up to 35.000mm
are very compact and they calculate with a microcontroller and tringulation the output signal. An intelligent internal signal analysation enables a precise object detection irrespectively of the colour or the surface.
register the ways contactless, wastefree and absolute measurement with a magnet. Analogue and digital systems are available and the density tolerance allows an easy mounting in hydraulic systems. Measurement ranges up to 4.000mm.
Linear Variable Differential Transformers are absolutely suitable for applications in hard industrial environments with high temperature and compression, as for big accelerations and high measurement cycles. Measurement ranges up to 600mm.
induce with a coil head a high frequent eddy current in the measurement object and registers contactless the distance. It is mainly for small measurement ranges with a high break up in extreme environmental conditions. Measurement ranges up to 20mm.
have a reading head with a flexible spherical charge and are ideal for the extention on multiple systems for example: milling and lathe machines or robotor devices. The positioning display contains all needed program information for the operation of the tool machines. Measurement ranges up to 2.200mm.
are precise measurement equipments with a high break up up to 0,1 um. They work after the known Sony-magnescale-priciple and offer an incremental output signal. For the direct accessibility to the SPS or on the positioning display these are the ideal appliances for the automatic assembly. Measurement ranges up to 155mm

are indispensable and often used measurements that are offered additionally to our sensors. We have over 80 different types of encoders, heavy industry transducers and tacho sensors.
|
The sensors for the positional, distance and level measurements work after different physical principles.
|
The accurancy of measurement is mostly quoted in linearity and gives the max. possible deviation from the ideal straight line. It is mostly like the repeat accuracy or better.
