EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS

TO ILLUSTRATE THE WIDE-VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS SOLVED USING CONTRINEX SENSORS, WE HAVE POSTED A LARGE SELECTION OF EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS WHICH CAN BE SEEN BY CLICKING ON AN IMAGE. BELOW ARE A SELECTION OF SOME OF THESE APPLICATIONS:
CUSTOMER VALUES NO READJUSTMENT OVER TIME NO WEAR AND TEAR AND RELATIVELY TAMPER-PROOF LONG TERM RELIABILITY NO MAINTENANCE PRODUCT ADVANTAGES EASY ADJUSTMENT/SETUP LOCAL ANNUNCIATION (LED INDICATOR) AFFORDABLE SENSOR WITH EXCELLENT RELIABILITY
A manufacturer of mobile cranes uses Contrinex 2-wire inductive sensors to detect the position of stabiliser legs as part of the vehicle safety system. Before the system will allow the driver to drive the vehicle away, sensors confirm that stabiliser legs have been retracted. CUSTOMER APPLICATION Mobile cranes, telescopic handlers and the like are equipped with extendable stabiliser legs to prevent them from tipping over when lifting. These stabiliser legs (or jacks) are mechanical extensions of the chassis which widen the base of the vehicle’s chassis to ensure its stability in all operating situations. However, when the time comes to move the vehicle, there must be verification that these stabilisers are fully retracted. Either an indicator in the driver’s cab or a method of disabling engagement of the vehicle’s transmission is used to ensure safety and prevent drive-away accidents and damage. The customer’s existing verification system relies on mechanical contacts. However, the costs of maintenance and replacements over the long lifetime of such vehicles are relatively high and hence a non-contact solution was sought .
Customer Solution A normally closed, two-wire inductive sensor from Contrinex’s Classic 600 Series was ideal for this application. Multiple sensors (one for each stabiliser cylinder) are installed and connected in a way that requires each sensor to be satisfied that a target is either present or absent, thus completing a logic circuit. Initially, the simplest approach would seem to be to wire this group of devices in series, as would be the case with mechanical contacts. However, when using sensors, series wiring presents the challenge of voltage drops. The customer overcomes this by selecting 2-wire sensors with a ‘normally closed’ output, then wiring them in parallel to create a logical NAND situation. This wiring solution resolves the issue and permits an easy to implement, non-contact, non-mechanical approach to providing feedback for the warning or inhibiting mechanism of the vehicle.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES RANGE OF DC, AC AND NAMUR SENSORS INCLUDES RANGE OF SIZES FROM Ø 3 TO M30 5 X 5 MM SQUARE-SECTION SENSOR AVAILABLE EMBEDDABLE OR NON-EMBEDDABLE MOUNTING OPTIONS CONNECTION BY MEANS OF CABLE OR CONNECTOR SENSING RANGE UP TO 15 MM ENSURE OPTIMAL EQUIPMENT UTILISATION
