There is a suitable place for every sensor. We propose what can be done with a magnetic sensor. There is a reassuring 3-year warranty for natural failures.
■ Although it uses an optical sensor, it requires regular cleaning, which is a hassle.
■ Optical sensors cannot be used in environments where dust or mist is constantly present.
■ It uses mechanical switches, but due to the high number of operations, the replacement frequency is high.
■ I want to avoid mechanical switches for waterproofing reasons.
■ I want to detect from a bit further away; detection over 100mm is possible.
■ I want to detect through obstacles (as long as they are non-magnetic).
■ Detection is not possible due to freezing or condensation.
Do you have any concerns like these?
There are environments suitable for magnetic sensors.
Additionally, magnets have N-pole and S-pole polarities. While general proximity switches can only output ON/OFF signals, magnetic sensors can individually output signals for the N-pole and S-pole.
With the right ideas, hardware and programming are also possible. For example, you can use it for deceleration (N-pole), stop (S-pole), stop (N-pole), emergency stop (S-pole), and you can also use address codes as a ternary code.
Completely non-contact.
Would you like to switch to a maintenance-free, long-lasting Makome sensor?
Length measurement, rotational measurement, direction of movement detection.
