Review of the 2nd Railway Technology Exhibition (Mass-Trans Innovation Japan 2011)

Resolution of 0.5μm, response speed of 10kHz, absolute linear scale.

Temposonics offers excellent non-contact absolute displacement sensors using magnetostrictive technology, which serve as alternatives to traditional linear potentiometers, linear encoders, and rotary encoders. This absolute position sensor is an ideal solution for monitoring and controlling machines that perform hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical positioning. Additionally, the sensor head is equipped with a uniquely developed high-performance LSI, enabling not only position detection but also the detection of movement speed, thus providing a complete operational profile of the machine. With a single sensor, it is possible to compare a user-defined target value with the actual position and measure the position of up to 30 locations simultaneously. Many other features are also included. Due to these characteristics, it is adopted in various applications such as industrial equipment, robotics, welding, medical devices, and wind and wave power generation.

It is a linear displacement sensor that applies Temposonics' unique magnetostrictive technology.

High-resolution and non-contact measurement is achieved, allowing for durable and highly accurate linear displacement measurement even in harsh environments. It can simultaneously detect multiple positions (up to 30 locations) absolutely, and it is also capable of measuring movement speed. Since it is non-contact and absolute, it requires very little maintenance. This multi-position measurement function is available in the Temposonics R series models with CAN, Profibus, and EtherCAT interfaces. Additionally, it can measure up to 20 meters, making it widely adopted in various markets for detecting landslides, avalanches, rock displacement, monitoring strata and ground subsidence, and measuring structural deformation.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching door knobs or switches, making it hygienic! You can choose from two types: the "Hand Wave Sensor," which only requires you to wave your hand, and the "Foot Switch," which only requires you to place your foot at the entrance. It reduces the risk of virus and bacterial infections in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus infection by allowing door operation without contact ○ A wide variety of options to choose from based on application and location ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a priority, such as food factories and medical facilities ○ Prevents unnecessary detection due to the switch mechanism 【Product Lineup】 ■ Hand Wave Sensor Series ○ Exposed waterproof type, front, down, and side-facing types "PF-R5" ○ Exposed type, front-facing type "PF-R1" ○ Embedded type, front-facing type "PF-U2" ○ Exposed type, downward wide type "PF-R4" ■ Foot Switch Series ○ Slim type with wide opening, vertical beam type "PF-01S" ○ Slim type with wide opening, horizontal beam type "PF-03S" ○ Standard type, horizontal beam type "PF-05" ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I am worried about the possibility of colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as pedestrian collisions and vehicle-to-vehicle accidents. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures at various sites and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *When using the exit warning system, we kindly ask that you arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breaker, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. [Contents Included] ○ Exit Warning System Configuration ○ Comparison Table of Exit Warning Sensors ○ Four Modes ○ Wide Range of Applications ○ Customer Feedback ○ Appearance Diagram / Specifications ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
