Sensors/Actuators
As sensors and actuators are very
important for a machine’s reliability,
BEUMER only uses equipment of
well-known manufacturers.
High-quality photocells ensure
reliable signals even in difficult
environments e.g. with cement
dust.
Non-contact proximity switches
ensure reliable signals.
Pneumatic actuators are controlled
and monitored by means of AS-
Interface Air boxes.
For the actual value detection of
actuators, the motors’ revolutions
are counted by the PLC. For this
purpose, the standard drive unit is
equipped with a fast proximity switch.
Angle transmitters are used for the
exact detection of positions of travel
axes and axes of rotation, in all possible
operating situations.
Time consuming reference travels
are no longer necessary.
