Rope displacement sensors are particularly suitable for linear guide systems, hydraulic cylinder systems, testing machines, telescopic systems (forklifts, presses, lifts, pipe benders, bending machines, etc.), cranes or cable winches, reservoir dam protection systems, gate opening control systems, testing machine pressure machinery, hydraulic universal testing machinery, warehouse position tracking, press machinery, papermaking machinery, textile machinery, metal sheet machinery, packaging machinery, printing machinery, horizontal control devices, construction machinery, industrial robots, injection molding machines, woodworking machinery, elevators, air compressors/hydraulic presses, height gauges, X-Y axes, and other length displacement measurements and position control applications. They are especially suitable for controlling electric-hydraulic servo hydraulic universal testing machines. They can completely replace grating rulers and can be customized for other applications, achieving high-precision measurements at low cost.
Application Case:
Used in Grooving Machines
Rope displacement sensors are mainly used in mechanical equipment for excavating grooves from the surface downward during the construction of continuous underground walls. Grooving machines require highly accurate measurements of verticality and depth. The displacement sensor plays a crucial role in this process, using ultrasonic monitoring devices to measure verticality and the displacement sensor to measure depth.
Grooving machines are similar to excavators and can also measure depth. However, excavators can use multiple angle sensors to measure the excavation angle, while grooving machines mainly excavate vertically downward. Even if multiple angle sensors are used, it is quite cumbersome. The sensors used for measuring depth on grooving machines are typically laser displacement sensors and rope displacement sensors. Compared to laser displacement sensors, rope displacement sensors are more commonly used on grooving machines. At the top of the grooving machine arm, there is a disc with a rope displacement sensor mounted on the side. As the steel wire rope descends, the disc rotates, and the sensor records the rotation, converting it into depth data. This method is quite convenient to use.
