Linear Transducer Applications
Written By klscontrols

A linear transducer is a sensor or device that provides a signal, digital or analog, to a controller based on a position measurement. There are various technologies which are used for measuring linear position. Here is one of them.

Magnetostriction Measurement: 

Current pulses are sent through a magnetostrictive wire, positioned inside a protective tube, creating a ring shaped magnetic field around the wire. A non-contact permanent magnet serves as a position sensor. The magnetic field of the magnet interfaces with the magnetic field of the magnetostrictive wire. This interference causes a magnetostriction, resulting in a torsion pulse. The torsion pulse leaves the point of interference with constant ultrasonic speed, moving along the waveguide in both directions. The time difference between the transmission of the torsion pulse and its arrival at the sensing element (receiving coil) at the detector head is converted electrically into a distance proportional signal, which is provided either as a digital or analog output signal. These signals are then available for communication to the controller via is the measuring principle based on a travel time delayPoint to Point, Fieldbus and Ethernet interfaces. Magnetostriction linear encoders come in two standard housing (construction) designs; Cylinder Mount (Rod), and Profile Mount.

We have numerous styles to choose from to best suit your application along with many outputs to interface into your controller or PLC.

Call us if you have a linear position application, we have many years of experience with the technology and will help you find the best one suited for your company.

Applications:

Automatic Size Changing, Servo Hydraulic Feedback, Shut Height Feedback Monitoring, Gantry Applications, Dancer Arm Control, Trim Press Height, Proof of Mold Closure, In Cylinder for Hydraulic or Pneumatics.

Faster rip sawing with SensoPart laser sensors
Written By klscontrols

Automatic measurement of wood planks by laser distance sensors increases the capacity of a rip saw with moveable blades.

Cutting wood planks to width is of key importance in solid wood working. So-called rip saws with moveable blades are frequently used for this purpose in saw mills and joineries, right through to the furniture industry. Their saw blades can be automatically positioned on an axis crosswise to the cutting direction. This enables several laths to be produced in the required width(s) from one raw wood plank in one rip sawing process. As manual feeding and alignment of the wood are still standard practise, the capacity of a rip saw with moveable blades remains limited, even though the operator is generally assisted by laser markings when measuring the plank.
