With the demand for automation greater than ever, the
need to replace limit and zone sensors on pneumatic
cylinders with continuous feedback has become obvious.
Speeding up and improving your process is what you
need in order to stay competitive. Knowing your exact
position at any given moment is essential to that end.
Replace your existing limit sensors with the GEMCO
955C BRIK GEN III for continuous position feedback
with your choice of Analog, Digital, or Quadrature
outputs. The
955C BRIK GEN III senses the magnet
located in your existing pneumatic cylinder and uses it to
relay absolute positioning information to the machine’s
controller. The
955C BRIK GEN III can be retro-fitted to
cylinders in the field using standard mounting brackets
or your own customized solution. The
955C solution has
no moving parts to wear out. Magnetostrictive technology
is used to “see” through the aluminum extrusion and
detect the position of the magnet mounted inside the
cylinder.
Three versions of the 955C BRIK GEN III are available.
The 955CA offers analog output in either voltage or
current with your choice of 0 to 10 VDC, 10 to 0 VDC, 4
to 20mA, or 20 to 4mA. The unit can easily be reconfigured
in the field from a 0-10 VDC to a 10-0 VDC or 4-20
mA to a 20-4 mA output.
The 955CD is designed for digital output with choice of
Control Pulse, Start/Stop Pulse, or Variable Pulse output.
The Quadrature output from the 955CDQ allows wiring
directly to any incremental encoder input card, without
the need for a special converter module or a PLC
interface card. The
955CDQ can be ordered with 1-9999
cycles per inch of output resolution in lengths of 5 to 180
inches. The transducer features an input to re-zero the
probe “on-the-fly”. Another unique feature is the “burst”
mode. An input on the transducer triggers a data transfer
of all the incremental position data relative to the set
zero position. This can be used to achieve
absolute position updates when power is
restored to the system, eliminating the
time-consuming need to “re-home” the
machine.
Another feature is that the analog output is programmable
over the entire active stroke length. The active
stroke area of the LDT lies between the Null Zone and
the Dead Band.
There is also a diagnostic LED located at the connector
to minimize setup time and troubleshooting. The LED is
green in normal operation. Red will indicate no magnet
present or that the magnet has moved out of sensing
range. Yellow is an indication the magnet is out of the
programmed active range or if no interrogation signal is
detected.
The enclosure comes standard as IP67; however, upgrading
to IP68 is available as an option so the LDT can
be used in wet environments.
Note: The Pneumatic cylinder must have a magnet in
order to work. Each cylinder manufacturer uses different
types of magnets. In most cases the cylinder supplier
installs the magnet so that the South Pole is facing out.
To date, we have successfully worked with most brands
of pneumatic
cylinders.
