Inductive proximity switches and inductive distance sensors (AlphaProx) use the same measurement theory.
They produce an electromagnetic field with a high frequency close to the sensing face. Depending on the object’s size, material, and distance from the field, a metal object will alter it.
The sensor recognizes the change and produces a proportional output signal.
All-analog operation enables standard AlphaProx sensors to run at high measuring speeds while maintaining great repetition accuracy, minimal readout noise, and high resolution.
A ferrous metal target can be detected by an inductive sensor without any physical touch. Aluminium, brass, and copper are examples of non-ferrous metal targets that inductive sensors can find.
However, employing non-ferrous metal targets reduces the sensing range of an inductive sensor.
Inductive distance sensors can measure a variety of positions and distances as well as distinguish between different types of materials.
They function without making contact, and as a result, they continue to stand out for their lengthy service life free of wear.
The linearity range of the included teach function is programmable. This ensures brief downtimes when changing sensors and facilitates speedy commissioning during first installation.
The inductive distance sensors may be quickly and easily integrated into any application thanks to the variety of configurations that are available.
Applications that are crucial include identifying imbalances and expansions in axles as well as tracking motions in joining, pressing, or clamping tools used in mechanical engineering.
An absolute analog voltage, current, or IO-Link signal is provided by the inductive distance sensors.
The Global Inductive distance sensors market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
In order to integrate the benefits of both inductive and magnetic sensors, Micro-Epsilon created the novel measuring method that is the foundation of mainSENSOR.
In process automation, the packaging sector, and machine monitoring, magneto-inductive sensors are frequently employed as an alternative to inductive sensors and proximity sensors.
A continuous, linear signal is produced by the sensor while it measures the distance to a magnet that is fixed at the measuring object.
You may acquire measuring ranges between 20 mm and 55 mm by using magnets of varying strengths. However, changing the magnet is all that is required to adjust the measuring range.
Machine tools employ the LDR-14-Z20 and LVP-25-Z20 sensors to monitor the clamping position. The drawbar clamping stroke of the target ring is directly measured by these inductive sensors, which are included within the release device.
These sensors offer excellent precision and continuous monitoring and are utilized in a variety of equipment due to their incredibly compact size. When replacing the tool, no adjustments are required.
