Monitoring clamping distances with binary sensors

Three inductive sensors for contactless clamping distance monitoring

The solution

Tools are typically clamped via conical geometries. With three BES inductive sensors, three states can be queried free of contact and thus free of wear: Unclamped, clamped without tool and clamped with tool.

This form of clamping distance monitoring is especially suitable for larger strokes because the sensors are installed at a defined distance from each other.

The features

• Query three states (unclamped, clamped without and clamped with tool)
• Without contact and therefore without wear
• Especially suitable for greater strokes
