GEMCO 955 BRIK Gen III Programmable Linear Displacement Transducer Offers Precise, Continuous Motion Monitoring And Unlimited Installation And System Flexibilty
CLAWSON, MI - The new GEMCO 955 BRIK Gen III Series programmable linear displacement transducer (LDT) from AMETEK Automation & Process Technologies was developed to meet the need for fast, accurate continuous position feedback devices necessary for today's manufacturing challenges.
The BRIK Gen III features the latest generation of magnetostrictive position-sensing technology for use in continuous machine control, actuation devices, and material-handling systems. It is fully programmable. A simple programming unit provides precise calibration for changing the setting of zero and span. The sleek yet rugged housing offers unlimited installation flexibility.
Set up is easy. After installing and powering up, the BRIK Gen III will automatically find and verify the position of the pickup magnet, or multiple magnets. Its exclusive tri-color LED visual indicator verifies optimal magnet positioning, confirms active zones, and provides self-diagnostics of LDT functions. Zero and span can be quickly reprogrammed with precision accuracy without removal or replacement.
GEMCO LDTs are known for flawless performance in extreme environmental conditions. The BRIK Gen III's high-resolution, non-contact, solid-state electronics are built to resist extreme shock and vibration and are enclosed in the industry's lowest profile extruded aluminum housing. The BRIK Gen III is available in a variety of transducer outputs and can be ordered in lengths up to 180 inches.
Custom configurations are available to meet specific end user requirements. Applications include extrusion lines, roller positioning, injection molding, blow molding, stamping presses and material feed systems.
GEMCO LDTs are the preferred product for fast and accurate continuous linear position feedback. They are able to detect movement down to .001 inches and report that information every millisecond. GEMCO has provided industrial automation solutions for over 50 years and is a recognized leader in advanced magnetostrictive positioning technology and continuous rotary and linear motion control devices.
AMETEK Automation & Process Technologies is a unit of AMETEK, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electric motors with annual sales in excess of $1 billion.
