APOS MAGNETIC TOUCHLESS POSITIONING SYSTEM

APOS MAGNETIC TOUCHLESS – SYSTEM Automated conveyor systems are on the rise in in-plant material flow. The The system can be combined with the VAHLE MKH/MKL or KBH conduc- automatic systems are cost-efficient, offer optimized space utilization tor systems, or it can be used separately as an empty housing. and enable high speeds. In order to steer them to their place of use without gaps and with millimeter precision, exact positioning is required. The system also requires no referencing for absolute position determination. Thus, the current position is directly available after switching on or...

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The 15-bit system can be used for system lengths of up to 262 m. The Code strip system length can be doubled by adding a second reading head with opposite reading direction and retraction direction of the code strip. Sensors The electronics of the reading head scans the magnetized code tape without contact and decodes the absolute position safely and reliably. The current position value is output via the respective communication Position value interface to the customer‘s downstream control system for further processing. COMPONENTS ELECTRONICS Reading heads The heart of...

COMPONENTS MECHANICS Code strip The magnetic code strip contains the absolute position value, which is decoded by the electronics of the reading head. Type The code strip has a pole separation of 8 mm and is coded with 15 bits. This results in a max. absolute position of 262 m. In addition, another code strip can be used. For plant lengths over 262 m, there are various technical options. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Support profile The support profile requires appropriate components, which are used for mounting the code strip in the respective conductor system. Wave tape with code strip...

GATEWAY With the optional interface converter (so-called „gateway“) from VAHLE, the SSI interface of the reading head can be extended to other industrial applications. We currently offer the following interfaces: • EtherNet/IP • PROFINET • EtherCAT The gateway is only compatible with the SSI GRAY PST reading head. An adapter cable is also required for the connection. The reading head is supplied directly via the gateway. Range of products Type Interface Ethernet/IP Interface PROFINET Interface EtherCAT DISPLAY UNIT With the optional display unit, it is possible to read out the position values...
