Monitoring clamping distances with position sensors

Continuously measuring clamping position

The solution

By linear position measurement, a clamping distance monitoring can be realized even with rotation of the clamping mechanics.

In this context, the BIP inductive positioning system detects the position of a metal cam that moves laterally past the sensor. Giving detailed information on the clamp position and tool holder type. Depending on the requirement, we can provide you with measurement sensors having different stroke lengths.

The features

• Reliable clamping distance monitoring during rotation of the clamping mechanics
• Measurement systems having different stroke lengths
