| MTS Sensors for wood products industry  MTS Sensors’ G-Series and R-Series sensors, the latest innovations in the Temposonics® family of magnetostrictive position sensors, are optimized to directly benefit customers in the wood products industry, as well as other applications subjected to harsh environments. In addition to the features shared with the R-Series such as programming and diagnostic features and improved immunity to harsh environmental conditions, the G-Series’ performance characteristics also include increased shock and vibration resistance and reduced EMI susceptibility. Backward compatible installation is simplified because of key similarities to previous MTS sensors lines. For example, the G-Series operates on standard 24VDC or optional 9-23 VDS input power supplies and offers an electronics housing installation that easily fits into the Tempo II sensor envelope.The R-Series is a digitally-based “smart” sensor featuring enhanced output capabilities and improved sensing performance and accuracy, as well as diagnostic LEDs and external programming capabilities that help minimize installation and troubleshooting efforts. The R-Series ensures the highest available level of reliability and durability under harsh environmental conditions. Both series offer the following time- and cost-saving features: - New ruggedized design to maximize machine productivity and uptime. - Sensor diagnostics that minimize the cost of operation and maintenance, while replacing the need for a voltmeter or oscilloscope. - Enhanced sensor design that virtually eliminates damaged PCBs (printed circuit boards) due to mis-wiring. - Backward compatibility and up to 15 percent cost reductions versus previous models. - External/remote programmability, eliminating the need to open the sensor housing to make adjustments. - Immediate detection of missing magnets or improper magnet position(s), further reducing downtimes and reliability. - Elimination of the need to remove hydraulic oil or re-purge air from hydraulics when installing new sensors. - A single, programmable sensor model providing migration options and support of future platforms, minimizing inventory constraints. - Original factory settings and user-adjusted parameters saved in the memory, preserving sensor configuration information. - Isolated sensor and earth grounding to reduce the possibility of ground loops. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
