Novotechnik - New Touchless In-Cylinder Sensors With 5 Output Versions

TH1 sensors have a rod that is easily mounted in-cylinder through one end and attached to the cylinder with either a threaded flange on the rod or a plug-in flange. Screw-plug hole is sized at 3/4 inch/M18 diameter and plug-in flange is 46 mm. A magnetic pick-up position marker is mounted on the applications piston rod.

Southborough, MA -- Novotechnik introduces the TH1 Series of touchless in-cylinder linear position sensors. This family of rod-style sensors is designed for integration in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, while the electronic components remain outside the cylinder.

TH1 Series sensors are available from stock in stroke lengths from 50 to 4,250 mm. Custom lengths are available for volume applications.

Voltage, current, CANopen, SSI and impulse output interface versions are available as standard product.

Novotechniks TH1 Series operates under pressure up to 350 bar with peaks up to 600 bar. Shock and vibration ratings are 100 g and 20 g respectively. Operating temperature range is -40 to +85°C and units are sealed to IP67 or IP68 depending on version.

Repeatability is ±0.03% of full scale regardless of stroke length and resolution is 1 µm. Absolute linearity is ≤ ±0.02% of full scale.

The pick-up markers traverse speed and acceleration are unlimited as is the mechanical life of the TH1 Series.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
