TR Electronic introduced TRC-50 cascading Linear Measurement System, a series of linear transducer modules that can be interconnected to measure typical distances of 5 to 60 feet and beyond.
LINEAR MEASUREMENT CHALLENGES
Many distance measurement applications require precision and quick response times. Solutions for High-rise storage systems, cutting equipment, scissor lifts and transfer vehicles have typically relied upon cable-retractors (also known as string-pots and rope-length encoders). These products are susceptible to wear-and-tear and can be compromised by environmental factors such as dust, debris and contaminants. Additionally, they are typically not maintenance-free. To address this growing market, TR Electronic has produced a linear measurement system known as the LMC-50.
The LMC-50 consists of IP65 rated linear measurement modules in a profile housing. The modules can be connected together across the entire measuring distance and require no maintenance. The units provide a seamless measuring system along the entire distance. Industry leading communication standards such as Ethernet/IP, Profibus and CAN will be available on customer demand.
