Overview
Many production machines require fast, precise detection of signals or exact switching of
digital outputs. The measuring input and output cam feature of the TM15 and TM17 High
Feature modules represents an optimal solution for a variety of industrial applications.
Applications requiring fast, high-precision detection of signals include:
● Edge detection
● Quality monitoring (e.g. product OK/not OK)
● Product tracking (e.g. product available/not available)
● Print-mark detection
● Tool monitoring (e.g. presses)
● Machine status monitoring (e.g. plastic injection molding machines)
● Weft break monitoring (e.g. textile machines)
Applications requiring fast, high-precision output of signals include:
● Position-dependent switching of actuators
● Product extraction from production line
● Implementation of line motion control systems
● Output of pulse patterns
