"Guide sensor" magnetic induction sensor for unmanned transport vehicles (AGV)
Guide sensor
Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) magnetic sensors for guidance are not affected by output variations due to gap fluctuations. Smooth linear output in relation to displacement.
The GS-315 type has top-class features among all guide sensors in history. It enables stable induction unaffected by dust and dirt to detect the magnetism from the "guide tape." Since it uses a unique detection element developed by Makome Research Institute, it allows for a significant operational distance from the "guide tape." The waterproof GS-515 has also joined the lineup!! *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF document. *Sample loans are available!

basic information
◎GS-944, GS-315, GS-215, GS-515 ● This is a "guide sensor" type that calculates the deviation amount from the center to the left and right based on the information from the magnetic detection element group and converts it into a linear voltage output. ■ It is equipped with right branch mode output and left branch mode output suitable for two-way branching. Depending on the branching situation, the output mode can be changed by selection. ■ The output voltage value can be used to control an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). ■ It also includes a gate output for derailment detection to confirm the presence of the "guide sensor" on the "guide tape." ◎GS-116, GS-115, GS-108, GS-408 ■ The sensor contains a row of magnetic detection elements built in. ■ Based on the information from the magnetic detection element group, it switches the output ON/OFF in response to the magnetic field from the "guide tape." This is a "guide sensor" type that provides parallel output for switching. ■ The ON/OFF switching output can be used to control an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). For PNP specifications and CAN specifications, please inquire. ● Various shapes of "guide tape" are also available.
