Monitor workpiece clamping
With BFD ultrasonic position sensors
By emitting ultrasound into the hydraulic fluid, the BFD monitors the clamping process of the workpiece directly, continuously and quickly. This generates reliable information on the clamping status and lets you detect critical deviations early on, like problems with the oil supply, casting errors, contour deviations, insertion errors and deformed workpieces. By monitoring the entire clamping process, you can also spot pressure fluctuations in the hydraulic unit, defects in the swivel mechanism and defective seals in ample time to take action.
Features
- High-performance measurement over the entire measuring range of 0...80 mm: high repeatability of ±50 μm, linearity deviation of ±250 µm
- Continuous compensation to adapt the measurement to the type, composition and quality of the hydraulic fluid
- Flexible integration via IO-Link, as analog transmitter or as two-stage switch
- Firmware functions to provide additional data for condition monitoring
