    ALL FOR ONE FOR ALL
    Inductive sensor with reduction factor 1 ... a sensor for all applications?

    Sensors with “reduction factor 1” detect metallic objects of any material (e.g. iron, steel, copper, aluminum) with the same switching distance. A special coating on the housing permits the use of these sensors in welding areas.

    Application Reports
     

    Safe positioning using the PMI360D

    A set-down packer places beer crates from conveyor belt A onto conveyor belt B. The transfer of the crates requires a position detection from 0° to 360°, with conveyor belt A representing the 0° position (4 mA) and conveyor belt B the 360° target position (20 mA).

    In this case an analog output is required. Rotary encoders proved to be an ineffective solution.
