APPLICATIONS
Draw wire sensors can be used in many applications for measuring the position, velocity and distance of linear displacements, here is a brief overview.
Raising / lowering of containers
The first one is the measurement of the raising and lowering of a container carried by a stacker crane. The speed and the position can be measured using our sensors to ensure safe handling.
Displacement of hydraulic actuators
A cable reel equipped with an encoder can also quite measuring the displacement of a lifting apparatus and more specifically the output of a hydraulic cylinder in order to ensure the correct positioning for the operator.
Position and speed of a lift
The draw-wire displacement sensor can then measure the speed of descent and ascent of a lift in order to guarantee the user a trip at constant speed, a smooth stop and at the right height.
