Automated Storage And Retrieval System

Increasing warehouse and labor costs make the use of automatic storage and retrieval systems economically attractive. IXARC rotary encoders and LINARIX linear sensors are used in these systems to give the position of the loading equipment with respect to the vertical racks where goods are stored.

  • Vertical and Horizontal Positioning of the Units

  • Accurate Monitoring of the Arms

Forklifts

For forklifts and AGV’s that carry loads from one point to another, safety is of utmost importance. TILTIX inclinometers and LINARIX linear sensors help to avoid accidental contact and insure precise positioning of loads.

  • Simple Communication with Analog Interfaces

  • Programmable Measurement by the User

Baggage Handling

Due to stringent security requirements, all airline baggage needs to be screened and distributed in a secure manner. A labyrinth of conveyors helps sort these in a correct fashion. Programmable Fieldbus IXARC rotary encoders help track the position of multiple baggage conveyors.

  • Diagnostics LED, Reduced System Installation

  • Simplified Wiring, Decreased Time & Costs

Hoists, Gantry And Port Cranes

Due to heavy loads and big distances cranes need very accurate positioning. Gantry cranes in warehouses or factories, need to know the exact position and height of the object while port cranes have to accurately place the container on the ships.

  • Stainless Steel Version, Chemical Resistance

  • Accurate Process Monitoring

Overhead Conveyors

Assembly lines for automotive production have dedicated work stations for different processes. Typically the vehicle chassis is moved through a series of such work stations using overhead conveyors. IXARC absolute encoders help achieve this movement in a safe and controlled manner.

  • Fieldbus & Ethernet for Fast Communication

  • Reduced Downtime and Increased Efficiency

Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts need constant tilt monitoring to prevent tip-overs, an easy job for the dual axis TILTIX inclinometers. IXARC rotary encoders and LINARIX linear sensors are ideal for situations where the height of the lift needs to be known.

  • Compact & Economical Sensors

  • Precise and Fast Position Feedback
