Sensor Solutions for Mechanical Engineering

Novotechnik sensors play a central role in the regulation, control, automation, and monitoring of processes in machines and systems worldwide. They are used in a wide range of industrial applications—such as in plastics, metal, wood, paper, and textile processing, as well as in packaging machines—and reliably meet the industry-specific requirements of mechanical engineering. Whether in dancer applications or stroke adjustments, with analog or digital output signals, high-precision Novotechnik sensors are successfully used for rotary or linear position measurements.

Usage

Metalworking machines

Product

Contactless angle sensors, RSC-2800 and RSM-2800 series
Precision sensors play a crucial role in metalworking machines because they ensure stable processes and consistent manufacturing quality. Our sensors are used reliably in a wide range of applications. These include dancer arm controls in wire coiling machines, lifting and positioning axes on presses and sheet metal bending machines, as well as strip feeders in cross-cutting lines. Thanks to their high accuracy and robust design, the position sensors detect movements and positions reliably and reproducibly. In this way, they contribute significantly to consistent quality and high availability of metalworking machines.

Usage

Injection molding machines

Product

Potentiometric linear position transducers, LWH and TLH series; Non-contact linear position transducers, TP1 series
In machines used to manufacture thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic parts, all process-relevant values are measured and stored, including the injection movement, the positioning of the ejector, and the mold closing movement. The goal is to ensure consistently high quality of the injection-molded parts and short setup times during mold changes. This places high demands on the reliability and accuracy of the displacement measurement systems used.

Usage

Position Detection of the Dancer Arm in Textile Machines

Product

Non-contact angle sensors, RFC-4800 series
Reliable even in harsh environments and requiring no moving parts, angle sensors in the speed control loop of the bobbin heads detect the position of the dancer arm during textile production. In textile printing as well, Novotechnik sensors monitor the positioning of the print image. Lorem ipsum dolor…
