Sensors in Conveyor Systems, Injection Molding Machines & Extrusion Presses

If you’re in the manufacturing industry, you understand the importance of keeping your equipment and machines operational. When a machine breaks down and you get behind schedule, that loss in productivity can quickly affect your revenue. This is why it’s essential to maintain your machinery with the proper components. Industrial machinery, like conveyor systems or extrusion presses, contains multiple parts that need to be monitored. Position and velocity sensors are affordable solutions that will keep your systems productive.

Increase Productivity With Consistent Results

While a position sensor determines an object’s placement, a velocity sensor measures how far an object has moved over time. This type of measurement is especially important in industrial applications where equipment is often subject to repetitive tasks. Here are three applications where sensors are beneficial:

• Conveyor systems – Many manufacturers rely on conveyor systems to transport heavy materials quickly and efficiently. A sensor from the Standard Series is ideal for this application. 
• Injection molding machines – A Standard Series sensor is also an appropriate choice for this type of machine, which is used in plastic production. Sensors are cased in aluminum housing and available in either linear position or linear velocity.
• Extrusion press – Whether it’s used to shape metals or plastics, an extrusion press needs to maintain a consistent application. Velocity sensors help monitor the speed and force of this machine to ensure consistency.
