Proximity Measuring System is RoHS-compliant.
October 4, 2006 -
Supplied in DIN package, KD-2446 provides adjustable-gain, variable-input solution for automated manufacturing and process control applications. Non-contact, inductive eddy current measurement technology works with ferrous and non-ferrous targets. With 10 kHz analog output and threshold-adjustable 3.3 kHz switched output, system offers 0.008% FS resolution and 0.56% FS switch point hysteresis. It consists of 9C or 5CM production sensor and signal conditioning or electronics module.

Kaman Offers RoHS Compliance in New Compact High-Precision Proximity Measuring System
Kaman announces the development and release of the KD-2446, a new high-precision proximity measuring system that offers lead-free RoHS compliance in a cost-effective compact DIN package that's easy to install. With a 10KHz analog output and threshold-adjustable 3.3KHz switched output, the KD-2446 provides a flexible solution for today's high-speed automated manufacturing and process control applications.
Kaman's reputation for high performance sensing is reflected in the KD-2446 system, performing with 0.008%FS resolution and 0.56%FS switch point hysteresis. CE and RoHS compliance makes this new system ideal for OEM applications with worldwide distribution. Applications include displacement, vibration, sorting, and event capture.
The KD-2446 uses inductive, eddy current technology that measures without touching the target and offers excellent performance with both ferrous and non-ferrous targets. The system consists of two sub-assemblies: the sensor with integral cable and the signal conditioning or electronics module. Input voltage is variable from 12 to 24 volts DC, and gain is adjustable for up to 22 volts output (with 24 Vdc input).
Kaman's KD-2446 system comes standard with one of two production sensor configurations - the 9C or the 5CM. Both of these rugged sensors are rated for continuous operation up to 400°F.
The KD-2446 system is in production and available immediately from Kaman. Cost of an average unit is $550 in single quantities.
Kaman Measuring Systems, an operating unit of Kaman Aerospace, has led the industry for over 40 years in solving difficult industrial sensing applications when non-contact with the target is required.
