Enhancing Toggle Clamp Position Sensing with Elesa+Ganter Sensor Holders
For precise position sensing in vertical and horizontal toggle clamps, Elesa+Ganter offers innovative and practical sensor holders. These holders are designed to improve automation reliability and process stability. Additionally, compatible proximity sensors can be conveniently ordered alongside the holders using the designated identification number.
Why Sensor Holders Matter for Toggle Clamps
Small but essential, the Elesa+Ganter sensor holders GN 801.3 and GN 801.4 significantly enhance process monitoring by enabling accurate position detection for toggle clamps. This feature is crucial for ensuring process reliability in both manual and automated systems.
Key Features of Elesa+Ganter Sensor Holders
These sensor holders are designed for quick and easy installation, making them ideal for upgrading existing toggle clamps. Each standard unit consists of:
- Retaining bracket: Easily attaches using pre-existing bores on the toggle clamp.
- Retaining plate: Features a bore for mounting the sensor and an elongated hole for precise sensor adjustment.
- Setting nuts: Allow for easy positioning and secure attachment, enabling mounting on either the left or right side of the clamp.
The ability to mount the sensor holder on both sides of the toggle clamp increases its flexibility, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of applications, whether the clamp is vertically or horizontally oriented.
Compatible with Standard Inductive Sensors
Elesa+Ganter sensor holders support all typical M8-thread inductive sensors, ensuring seamless integration into existing setups. For added convenience, Elesa+Ganter also offers complete sensor holder kits that include a high-performance inductive sensor with:
- Three-pole M8 plug for easy connectivity.
- 10-36 V DC operating range for reliable power compatibility.
- LED indicator & high signal output to confirm secure toggle clamp positioning.
Improving Automation Reliability and Quality Control
By detecting when the toggle clamp reaches its end position—specifically when the knee lever passes the dead point—these sensors prevent improper securing of workpieces in automated and semi-automated production lines. This ensures:
- Enhanced process stability by preventing misalignment or unsecured workpieces.
- Improved quality control through reliable position monitoring.
- Increased efficiency and economic performance by reducing errors and downtime.
