DRIVES & CONTROLS PRODUCTS SENSOR AND POSITIONING INNOVATIONS
interfaces such as IO-Link make the sensors a high tech, low investment solution. A new range of robust magnetic rotary
encoders will be launched at the show. These encoders feature high precision up to 0.1° accuracy, combined with
increased environmental tolerances in a compact design. The use of magnetic technology removes the requirement for optical discs and mechanical gears and the associated potential for failure. In multi-
At Drives & Controls 2014 Pepperl+Fuchs will be demonstrating its sensor and positioning offerings and showcasing a new generation of ultrasonic sensors, rotary encoders, optical scanners and miniature sensors. Ultrasonic sensors in a variety of sizes will be
on show and the advanced internal processing options which make new ultrasonic sensors more adaptable to a range of applications will be demonstrated. Features such as adjustable cone widths and object filtering enable the colour independent ultrasonic sensors to be used in awkward applications which previously would have been too difficult to solve with a single sensor. Ease of programming and universal
turn encoders the magnetic option removes the need for complex and sizeable gearing arrangements inside the encoder, thus reducing the housing dimensions and therefore the installation costs and space requirements. Additionally, fail safe rotary encoders up to SIL 3 and matching safe speed monitor units will be on display with other safety products including networked and wireless safety solutions. Photoelectric developments on
offer will include the latest distance measurement sensors and a new high performance time of flight area scanner, the R2100. This scanner offers a 88° field of view but with no moving parts or sensitive lasers. It uses pulse ranging technology - the most effective time of flight
measurement technology on the market today. It provides maximum precision and reliability over large distances, even in harsh ambient conditions, and is suitable for many applications such as object recognition, positioning, sizing, monitoring, collision detection and edge detection. Optical positioning systems using 2D codes
instead of linear barcodes to provide a higher degree of accuracy and redundancy will be on show along with a new range of miniature photoelectric sensors with optical performance characteristics compatible to those of much larger devices.
