PRECISE LOCATION OF THE PISTON IN EACH CYLINDER
ULTRASONIC Position Sensing Clamps • Ultrasonic position sensing clamps provide accurate and repeatable clamp position measurements. • Sensing available for TuffCam Swing Clamps, VersaCam Swing Clamps, TuffLink Link Clamps, and Block Body Cylinders. • Repeat accuracy of +/-.002. • Works with up to 5000 psi of hydraulic pressure. • Accuracy unaffected by heat up to 185° F. • Simple to use with IO-Link. • All components rated to at least IP67. • All in one Vektek ultrasonic position sensing packages for easy integration. • Easy trouble shooting for identifying failed clamp or unclamp states.
How Does it Work?
The ultrasonic sensor sends an ultrasonic pulse from the bottom of the clamp and the signal is reflected back to the sensor off the bottom of the plunger. The sensor measures the return time and gives an accurate position reading for the clamp. Set up the desired clamping and unclamping ranges using the master control system included in the two sensing packages. During operation the master control will send a go or no-go signal to the machine depending on the data received from the sensors. No-go signal will prevent damage to the part or machine due to a failed or damaged clamp.
