TWE – Wire drawing with displacement sensors

Item available on request.

Characteristics:

  • The wire displacement sensors are designed for measurement of length (electronic measuring tape) and linear path. The sensor is usually firmly attached to the base and the eye of the wire is attached to the measured object. A spring ensures reversal winding. The sensor can be delivered together with an incremental sensor (A, B signals, Z-reference reference pulses) or a multi-turn potentiometer. Sensors with potentiometers provide value of the analog output resistance proportional to the measured path.
  • Incremental sensors provide a relative value, the number of pulses proportional to the measured path. Resolution depends on the number of pulses per revolution. If the incremental sensor is equipped with the zero pulse, one pulse per revolution is sent, ie 10 pulses throughout the measurement. Wire shifting sensors can be used in low-cost applications, for example, material feeders, elevators, or handling devices.
