Optimise your production line with sensors

Do you know which components are suitable for the different parts your the production line? Or, how can they contribute to efficient and reliable production? Encoders, inclinometers, displays and slip rings are just some of the components we use to optimise your production line. Find the answers below in our production line diagram which shows where components would be placed for a full solution.

Kubler slip rings encoders

Measuring wheel - 1

Measuring wheels are often used in linear motion applications, such as conveyor belts or paper rolls.

  • Measures speed and distance using a wheel that is in contact with the ground and connected to an encoder.
  • Ideal for precise speed control and counting.

Encoders - 4

Encoders are often placed at critical points in the production line, such as on drive motors or at the entry and exit of conveyor belts.

  • Provides precise feedback on the position and speed of the conveyor belt or equipment.
  • Used for control, synchronisation and monitoring of movement in the production line.

Slip rings - 7

Slip rings are used in rotary applications such as conveyor rollers or rotary arms.

  • Ensures the transmission of electrical signals, power and data between rotating and non-rotating parts.
  • Can also handle the transmission of air and hydraulics, which contributes to continuous operation and control.

Security Encoders - 2 & 8

These encoders are strategically placed where safety is critical, such as near emergency stop buttons or locations with a risk of crushing injuries.

  • Secures personnel and equipment by triggering emergency stops or activating safety measures in the event of abnormal conditions.
  • Prevents accidents and contributes to a safe working environment.

IO-Link Displays - 5

Displays with IO-Link are often placed in control panels or other easily accessible areas.

  • Displays real-time information about the status of components in the production line.
  • Make it easy for operators to monitor performance, troubleshoot, and adjust settings.

 

 

Inclinometers - 3

Inclinometers are mounted on equipment such as scissor lift tables or moving parts with varying inclinations or angles.

  • Monitors that the equipment is operating within safe angles or slopes.
  • Can trigger notifications or corrective actions in the event of deviations from set limits.
 

Wire Sensors - 6

Wire rope sensors are typically mounted on scissor lift tables and connected to the moving platform or actuator.

  • Accurately measures the height or position of the platform.
  • Ensures that the lift table reaches the correct height for material handling.

How to optimise your production line

A well-functioning production line requires accurate measurements, safe operation, and reliable signal transmission.

Encoders provide precise control, safety encoders protect personnel.

Measuring wheels and wire sensors provide accurate position data.

IO-Link displays simplify monitoring,

Inclinometers ensure the correct angle of equipment.

Slip rings enable uninterrupted signal transmission in rotary applications.

By selecting the right components and placing them strategically, you can increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and improve safety in production. Not sure which solutions are best for your application? Feel free to contact us for guidance by emailing [email protected] or calling 0116 284 9900.
