MTS Systems has launched its POWERLINK protocol compatible R-Series sensors to expand the range of metalworking applications which benefit from its Temposonics linear-position sensors.
According to MTS, its Temposonics magnetostrictive sensors provide high speed, accuracy and durability in the harsh environments of metal forming, die casting, metal shearing presses and steel rolling mills.
The company says the high resolution and responsiveness of its linear position sensors contribute to metalworking machinery’s overall productivity by allowing shorter cycle times, faster change- over and minimal maintenance.
Now with the addition of POWERLINK capability, the sensors are suitable for even more applications in the metal industry.
MTS says the R-Series Ethernet POWERLINK sensors are suited to applications such as cut-to-length measurement, forming angle or stroke, grinding machine control, hydroforming, presses and die cutters because they offer superior performance and reliability despite high vibration and shock conditions.
