Summary Summary 1-1. Troublesome Cam Adjustments Made Easy By An Electronic Switch Format A mechanical cam switch format using limit switches and cams has long been the standard in automatic machinery such as packing, printing, press, and assembly machines, and difficult angular adjustment and switch replacement procedures have long been the cause of headaches.
Controller are connected by a single cable, making connection quick and easy. (3)Durable Absocoder Sensor NSD’s unique Absocoder Position Sensor is designed to withstand vibration, shocks, severe temperatures, oil, and dust, etc., making it ideal for factory environments. (4)No Origin-Point Return Required When Power is Interrupted An absolute angle detection format eliminates cumulative error, and does away with the need for origin-point returns when the power supply is interrupted.
System Components 1-3. 6 Controller types, and 2 Sensor types are available. Select the appropriate type according to the application and environment.
