and thus offer many new options in terms of system planning, installation and operation.
The AFT Group based in Schopfheim, Germany, is one of the many companies profiting from the new sensor development. Since the company has employed the new sensor generation, it has been able to enhance operational system safety, reduce down-times and significantly increase their productivity.
Can you imagine a world without cars? Even though mobility has become one of the most essential factors of modern life, hardly anyone has an idea of the complexity of the entire car building process – ranging from individual component selection to delivery of a brand-new vehicle to the sales shop, ready for drive-away by the customer.
And since we all know that time is money, mobility and availability play an important role already in the production phase. In an automotive plant, a myriad of components and modules must be transported, transferred to and removed from stock, palletised and de-palletised, lifted, lowered, tilted and positioned. And within all these processes, errors such as a jam on the conveyor line, must be reliably prevented. This is where the small, yet essentially important inductive sensor comes into play: uprox®+ , the new generation of inductive sensors from TURCK ensures the implementation of smooth and error-free automation and conveyor technologies in the automotive plant...
