Gripper function monitoring

The MZ2Q-C magnetic cylinder sensor monitors the pneumatic cylinder in the gripper. The sensor features a short switching point optimized for gripper applications, which increases process efficiency due to higher PSDI times. The rugged mounting holds the sensor in the required position, even when exposed to shock and vibration, and increases the reliability. The MZ2Q-C fits into all standard C-slots, regardless of the cylinder profile or make. The IME08 inductive proximity sensor detects the end position of the flap axis integrated into the gripper.

  • Following product families can be used
    Cylinder sensors with two individually adjustable switching points for C-slot
    • Can be used in all standard cylinders, linear slides, and grippers using the C-slot and – with the help of adapters – in round rod, tie-rod, and profile cylinders
    • Drop-in mounting from above simplifies handling and assembly
    • Easy adjustment of two switching points via teach-in pushbutton
    • LEDs for indicating the two switching points
    • Detection range up to 50 mm stroke
