April 20, 2020 – Micro-Epsilon’s inductive induSENSOR LVP sensors monitor the clamping position in machine tools. The measuring method is non-contact and wear-free. They continuously monitor the clamping position. The cylindrical sensors can be integrated directly into the release device of the clamping system for this measurement task. The stroke of the drawbar is measured here.
A ring glued onto the drawbar forms the measurement object for the non-contact sensor. An analog signal is output which corresponds to the stroke movement of the drawbar when clamping the tool. Consequently, continuous monitoring is possible without having to mechanically set the switching point, which is time consuming. The miniature controller can either be accommodated on site or mounted in the control cabinet.
