Continuous analogue output
06 March 2014
New from SICK UK, the MPS and MPA are two new magnetic analogue output position sensors for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders that offer high levels of accuracy and control, combined with the versatility to be used universally for machine and robotics applications.
The key to the sensors’ high-performance is a continuous analogue output signal for precision non-contact detection at all stroke positions with minimal blind zones. Simple to commission thanks to an intelligent teach-in function, they are designed for easy and quick mounting on T-slot housings with a range of bracket options for standard cylinder types.
The rugged MPA and the compact MPS support the widest range of high-precision positioning, measurement and detection applications such as spot welding, drilling, screwing and polishing.
