Monitoring the clamping position in machine tools

The inductive sensors of the induSENSOR LVP-25 series are used to monitor the clamping position in machine tools. They are integrated into the release unit and directly measure the clamping stroke of the tie rod on which the target ring is glued. Due to their extremely compact design, the sensors are used with various types of tools and enable highly accurate and continuous monitoring without the need for adjustment when changing the tool.

To meet the growing demands for accuracy of machine tools, sensors with high precision are needed

The induSENSOR LVP-25 was developed for monitoring the clamping position in machine tools.

The cylindrical sensor can be easily integrated into the release unit of the clamping system. A ring, which serves as a measuring object for the sensor, is simply glued onto the tie rod. The measuring principle of the sensor is non-contact and therefore not subject to wear.

Since the sensor supplies an analog signal proportional to the stroke movement of the tie rod, continuous monitoring is achieved with this solution. This eliminates the laborious adjustment of the switching point that is necessary with other solutions. Like the sensor, the sensor electronics are very small and can therefore be easily integrated.
