Recently, we’ve highlighted a number of the more specialized sensor options you can find at Locon on our blog. These include miniature sensor units for applications with extreme space restrictions, and high temperature sensors for harsh operating environments. These specialized sensors might be ideal in some cases, but they’re not always necessary. For applications that… Read more »
Sensing equipment in food processing plants must not only be precise and reliable, but also designed with the rigorous cleaning requirements associated with food safety guidelines in mind as well. For these applications, we recommend durable food-grade washdown inductive sensors. These sensors offer food processing operations a number of key benefits specific to their industry…. Read more »
Sensors continue to make a dynamic impact on the world around us, as they’re used in a variety of ways. For instance, a manufacturer of utility vehicles uses inductive sensing to identify the model of each chassis as it’s received in their local body shop. A utility vehicle is lifted onto the line using pulleys… Read more »
To make certain of tool closure, it’s a good idea to utilize inductive proximity sensors. When machinery is operating, you want it to work flawlessly so you don’t have any downtime, mistakes, or problems. Inductive proximity sensors help to ensure a tool-press is completely closed before molding tools are changed. The sensors monitor the machinery… Read more »
Inductive sensors check the presence and position of workpiece carriers. In an automotive assembly line, for instance, these sensors prove to be invaluable to the lift and transfer process. When cylinder heads get transferred to another line for mounting on an auto engine, the workpiece gets lifted from one carrier to another– inductive sensors fitted… Read more »
Size and space are common roadblocks when it comes to placing inductive sensors in their ideal positions. For these tight spaces and hard to operate areas, we have an ideal solution – the new Contrinex model, MiniMini M4 Inductive Sensor (Threaded). The best part about the miniature inductive sensors from Contrinex is that they’re the… Read more »
Locon Sensor Systems Inc. has an extensive selection of Contrinex inductive sensors that serve as the perfect choice for detecting metallic targets up to 65mm away. Let’s take an in-depth look at our list of sensor options to determine which is the ideal fit for your application. We offer vacuum-sealed electronics and metal housings designed… Read more »
