Linear measurement and position system is immune to contamination

Connectric Systems has introduced the Kubler Limes linear measurement and position system. Unaffected by dust and humidity, this programmable system detects position and travel direction by passing a sensor over a magnetic rule. The head provides a quadrature output which is used to determine position and direction of travel. Measuring lengths of over 100 m can be achieved with resolutions of 0.1 mm to 0.005 mm. The self-adhesive magnetic rule can be applied to metal or other surfaces. When used in conjunction with a controller/PLC, the unit can replace multiple limit switches, photoelectric controls, proximity switches, etc. It also can replace linear encoders.
