Capacitive thread sensors:

Smart servo axis for effective and
flexible production processes
Lenze, the specialist in machine automation has come up with a
scalable drive solution for production and intra-logistics systems.
The combination of an i950 servo inverter, an m850 synchronous
motor and a g700 planetary gearbox is easy to handle and
facilitates cost-effective production, even for batch size 1. At the
heart of the solution is the smart i950 servo inverter. Its greater
computing power and the integrated EtherCAT-Port make it
possible to control multiple
axes synchronously at high
speed, enabling it to
complete complex tasks.
The second component is
the m850 synchronous
motor. It stands out
because of the favorable
ratio between the mass
inertia of load and motor,
which results in very quiet
running. Despite the high
mass inertia, it is dynamic
enough to handle medium to high loads. The drive is available in
3 sizes, each in 3 different power classes that extend from 2.0 kW
to 9.2 kW. The g700 planetary gearbox is adapted for these motor
characteristics and meets the requirements of mediumperformance
applications in terms of rigidity and high dynamics.

Micro-Epsilon has introduced capacitive sensors with
a thread, these are not intended for clamping but are
screwed into a thread. This opens up numerous
applications possibilities especially for measurement
tasks where the standard sensors cannot be clamped,
non-contact displacement, distance and position
measurements can be easily carried out using the new
threaded sensors. They are specially designed for
machine building applications where the sensors must
be mounted at a defined distance e.g. on walls, in bore
holes or even very
deep drill holes.
Due to the
integrated plug-in
connection, they
are easy to install.
Conventional
capacitive sensors
are equipped with
a permanently integrated cable that gets twisted when
screwing the cable in. However, the sensors from
Micro-Epsilon are screwed in first and then connected
with the cable via the integrated plug-in connection.
They stand out due to their long-term stability, reliability
and temperature stability. Furthermore, they offer
extremely high reliability and high precision
measurements down to nanometer range. Its innovative
technology, makes them useful even in harsh industrial
environments.
