Sensor

POSIWIRE® cable extension position sensors capture linear position either absolutely or incrementally using a measuring cable made from stainless steel. Due to their robustness, easy and space-saving installation and the availability of measuring lengths up to 60,000 mm, POSIWIRE® position sensors are the standard solution for many applications. POSIWIRE® position sensors are now available with robust magnetic absolute encoder for safety applications.

Position and Length Measurement with a high reading distance

• Large reading distance between sensor and magnetic tape possible (0.1 ... 10.0 mm)
• Resolution 1.00 mm (default)
• Insensitive to dirt
• Reference pulse freely selectable (DMIX3)
   
• DMIX1: sensor and electronic evaluation unit are housed separately
• DMIX3: sensor and electronic evaluation in one housing

Robust linear measuring systems with LED distance

• Absolute measuring
• Resolution 0.01 mm
• No calibration necessary - changes of position are also recognized in zero-current period
• With LED and SSI error-bit in case of too large distance sensor-tape
• Measuring length up to 10 m (EMAX), 20 m (EMAL)
• Incremental square- or sine-cosine signals for dynamical movement control

Compact Measuring Systems for Linear and Radial Measurements

• Resolution 0.01 mm  (at 4-edge triggering)
• Repeat accuracy ± 0.001 mm
• Speed proportional output of square-waves signals

EMIX1

• Small sensor head with external electronic interpolation

EMIX2

• Small sensor with integrated electronic interpolation and index pulse
  The installation of the sensor can be effected vertical or horizontal

 Accurate Linear Encoder with a high resolution of 1 µm

• High resolution sensor technology (1µm)         
• Resolution 0.001 mm (at 4 edge triggering)
• Repeat accuracy ± 0.001 mm
• Speed-proportional square wave outputs    
• With index pulse (periodically) or free definable reference pulse                                                         
• Distance monitoring LED available (option)
• Predestined for control technology applications
