Micro-Epsilon wireSENSOR WPS-K100 sensors are ideal for monitoring safety-relevant parameters such as the length of a crane boom in order to calculate the load torque and the boom position for the prevention of collisions. This is made possible…

optoNCDT 1220 sensors are used for collision-free positioning of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with Mecanum wheels. The compact laser sensors with 500 mm measuring range are integrated onto the AGV/AMR. They…

Catering vehicles play an important role in passenger air traffic. They are responsible for there being enough foodstuffs on board. It is especially difficult with the Airbus A380 to reach the loading hatch with the vehicle. Therefore, the load…

High, free-standing structures such as cranes are monitored using inclination sensors which provide early warnings of a possible tip over in order to avoid accidents.

For electronic synchronization monitoring, a draw-wire sensor is used here. These are easy to integrate, very compact and offer high accuracy in addition to the large measuring range. For displacement measurement, the sensor is mounted on the…

Side supports against tipping over are installed for lift trucks and lift work platforms. The crane or the platform can only be put into operation when the supports are completely extended so that there is also no danger of tipping in the case of…

The scanCONTROL 2600 sensors used form a barrier above or below the detector depending on the climbing direction. Due to the detector size, a correspondingly large measuring range of 100 mm in the X and Z directions is required. The sensors are…

The supports on bridges must be renewed from time to time. The supports bear the weight of the bridge superstructure and absorb vibrations and expansions of the bridge. As the properties of the rubber bearings change over time, they must be…

In order to increase the safety of loading wagons, automatic braking systems are used. The brakes are activated if the lateral acceleration of a loading wagon becomes too high due to high speeds and tight curves and if the wagon threatens to tip…

In order to detect the piston position of hydraulic cylinders, magnetostrictive and inductive sensors are directly integrated in the sensor. Therefore, the magneto-inductive sensor mainSENSOR is an alternative. The face-mounted magnet transfers…

In agricultural machines, acceleration sensors monitor the mower in order to recognize collisions. When colliding with a stone, the mower will experience a movement that is detected by the acceleration sensors. When the mower is immediately…

The current jib length is important when calculating the torque of the load on the crane. This length is measured with an integrated draw-wire sensor. This simple and telescopic measuring principle makes wire sensors predestined for the task. The…

In rail transport, the new construction and reconstruction of track sections is subject to ever increasing requirements. A faultless track geometry is essential, especially for high-speed lines. In order to ensure this, so-called tamping machines…

Suction dredgers are seagoing vessels that collect sand and silt from the seabed in order to transport it over long distances. They are used for the construction and maintenance of ports and waterways as well as for land reclamation. On the end…

In modern hydraulic cylinders, the piston position is detected continuously. Therefore, inductive long-stroke sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used which are directly integrated in the hydraulic cylinder. Its robust design enables the sensor to…

Single girder overhead traveling cranes, double girder bridge cranes and overhead traveling cranes are used in almost every logistics and production plants. They combine efficiency and economy. The crane systems are used to support work in the…

The frequently used automatic rack control units make modern warehousing much easier. These units must automatically travel long distances and position the products with millimetre precision at the end. Modern optical laser sensors and also…

Draw-wire sensors are used to reduce the standstill time of slag transporters during the loading and unloading. They are installed on the tipping cylinder and the support cylinder. In this way, the signal of a limit switch no longer has to be…

So far, gap measurements inside the pumps were not possible because of the extreme requirements. The sensors must be resistant to high speeds, high pressures up to 1,000 bar and temperatures above 100 °C. Furthermore, the pumps are extremely…

A large part of internal transportation is performed by forklifts. The risk of tipping the forklift when products are lifted is high. Therefore, the permitted speed has been restricted with limit switches. Draw-wire sensors from Micro-Epsilon…

Mobile lifting jacks are being used more and more often for commercial and railed vehicles. The lifting jacks for commercial vehicles are often designed as column lifts. In contrast, railed vehicles are often lifted on the frame. Any number of…

In modern marine diesel engines, the crankshaft bearing is subject to regular maintenance intervals. For predictive maintenance, inductive sensors (eddy current sensors) are used to permanently monitor the bearing wear. Despite harsh ambient…
