Inductive Analog Sensors perform precise distance measuring.

Press Release Summary:




Sensors operate over -10 to +70ºC range, providing non-contact proximity, position, and distance sensing for metal objects. For high-speed applications, IWRM 04 sensor detects 0-1 mm movements at times under 0.5 msec and resolutions under 1 mm. Model IPRM 12I offers resolution under 100 nm. Cylindrical sensors, IWRM 12Z and IWRM 18Z, offer full scale linearity, 2 outputs, and teach-in programming. Measuring 20 mm², IWFK 20Z measures distances to 10 mm and also offers teach-in programming.

Inductive Analog Sensor Family for Precise Distance Measuring



Southington, CT -- July 12, 2006.... Baumer Electric offers a full line of inductive analog proximity sensors that deliver highly precise non-contact proximity, position and distance sensing for metal objects. These heavy duty sensors are reliable at temperatures ranging from -10 to +70ºC, and are capable of measuring distances from 1 mm to 10 mm.

Ideal for use on automated manufacturing lines and in original equipment applications, these sensors measure distance and location in automotive assembly, electronics production, metal processing, packaging, and textile manufacturing applications. They can also be used to monitor moving parts in heavy equipment, mass transportation vehicles, and printing equipment.

For high speed applications, the IWRM 04 sensor detects very small (0 to 1 mm), very fast (<0.5 ms) movements at resolutions of < 1 mm. Offering the greatest precision in the line, the IPRM 12I offers resolution of <100 nm and excellent repeat accuracy regardless of direction traveled.

Both the IWRM 12Z and the IWRM 18Z cylindrical sensors offer full scale linearity, two outputs, and programming via a teach-in button. Also featuring teach-in programming, the IWFK 20Z is a 20mm square sensor in a low cost plastic housing. The 20Z is ideal for small space applications and is capable of measuring distances as far as 10mm.
