Inductive Factor 1 Sensors

sensorConstant distance towards any metal

Inductive Factor 1 sensors offer the great benefit of maintaining the same sensing distance towards all metals. Unlike standard sensors where this value changes, depending on the material. The benefits of Factor 1 sensors are obvious: This uniform distance offers outstanding flexibility in system conception and sensor installation. Contrary to conventional sensors, Factor 1 sensors feature enhanced sensing distance towards many different metals. Hence, they are even perfect for applications with variable objects.
Your benefit:

  • Utmost flexibility in construction and installation „
  • Uniform, large sensing distance towards any metal „
  • Shorter installation times, thanks to minimal adaptation effort „
  • Eased alignment thanks to large sensing distance „
  • Reduced sensor variety – the same sensor will match different applications

Different Types and Applications Of Totalizing Counters

Totalizers are counters that “total” the number of cycles applied to their inputs. The totalizing function does not provide control outputs or preset limits, although some of our multi-function products have the totalizing capability as well as output and control functions. They may be a mechanical counter, electromechanical counter or an electronic counter, all of which may be resettable or non-resettable.

Mechanical Counters

Mechanical totalizing counters typically use printed wheels or drums to display the count value and are actuated by an external force on a lever or shaft in a reciprocating or rotating action. Mechanical totalizing counters are very robust in their construction and are often found in severe environments which could destroy other types of counters.

Applicationfabric_machine

A mechanical totalizing counter can be used as a yardage counter for sheet goods, fabric, upholstery, etc. in a factory or commercial setting.

Typical Veeder-Root Counter

743415-005 Worm Drive is part of the 7234 series and pairs well with 15537-070  Measuring Wheels.

Electromechanical Counters

Electromechanical totalizing counters generally are operated by an electrical pulse from a switch or relay and increment counts as the pulses are applied. Certain models have counting coils designed as “continuous duty” which means that the voltage applied to the counter may be of extended length or continuous without causing damage to the coil. They are typically panel-mounted or base-mounted and offer a low to mid-range cost solution for numerous applications.

Applicationpinball

An electromechanical totalizing counter can be used to count cycles in a gaming machine.

Typical Veeder-Root Counter

779086-006 is part of the 7790/7791 Series. This series of economical miniature totalizers is available in all popular mounts and operating voltages.

Electronic Counters

Electronic totalizing counters are almost always panel-mounted and generally have a good degree of environmental protection making them suitable for wet, damp, or dusty locations. They may be self-powered by an internal battery or externally powered, and are designed to accept a wide range of count inputs like dry contact closures, voltage pulses, TTL level inputs, and quadrature inputs from incremental encoders. Some models offer scalable inputs, meaning that the number of input pulses can be scaled as they come in to result in a readout of more meaningful units of measurement, often referred to as engineering units.

Application

An electronic totalizing counter can be used as a maintenance or usage counter (for revenue) in a copier machine.

Typical Veeder-Root Counter

C342-0462 is one counter in the C342 Totalizing Counter series. This series provides ultra-compact 1/32 DIN totalizers available with LCD or LED display and AC/DC inputs.
Totalizing counters, in all their various types, is an important component in a myriad of applications. So, choose Veeder-Root totalizing counters for a totally reliable, durable, and accurate solution!

Camera Systems provides a complete camera portfolio for industrial process monitoring and security surveillance for hazardous and industrial areas. Due to our innovative SNF*-technology, all cameras are considerably lighter than any existing ones, and extremely robust. Almost all of our cameras are designed for operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +75°C, even our infrared camera with day/night vision.

We are therefore able to design complete surveillance systems for any type of production plant, be it an oil rig, a tank farm, onboard ship or in process plants in the pharmaceutical or chemical industries. For control and standard monitoring, we have the ISview software package.

Larger surveillance systems with up to several hundred cameras are covered by the professional SeeTec software.

Green Energy – Meters from Weschler

Green Energy

Energy management and energy conservation start with the ability to monitor power and energy use.   For electrical systems, this involves measuring DC or AC power (Watts, VA, VAr) or energy (Wh, VAh, VArh).
In fixed installations, digital meters offer a range of display formats, capabilities & sizes. Single display power/energy meters start at $150.  Multiple display meters with user selectable parameters are available for $200-800, depending on configuration and capabilities. Bargraph power meters, which show a digital reading and analog level, start around $350.Advanced parameters, including power factor, demand & harmonics, are standard on many models. Most meters also offer options for setpoint alarms & network communications.  Specialized meters are available for applications such as generator monitoring or load shedding.  See the more popular digital:
