Sensor Applications
Sensing Solutions Summary
Overview
The sensor applications on the following pages range from basic problems to complex problems
that can be solved only with specific sensors from Eaton’s electrical sector.
The solution is summarized
along with the catalog
numbers of suggested
models to be used. Note that
many sensors are
interchangeable; slight
differences in the application
may dictate the choice of one
sensor over another. When
full catalog numbers are
listed, that specific model is
suggested. Where no suffix
is given (for example, 1451E)
or only one family is listed,
the choice of a specific model
within the suggested type
would be determined by
operating voltage, sensing
range, choice of cable or
connector base, and so on.
Sensor Applications
Broken Tool Detection
An E58 Harsh Duty Perfect
Prox sensor is used to sense
for the presence of the bit on
a mill. The high sensing
power and background
rejection of the Perfect Prox
allows reliable detection
through high levels of cutting
fluids, while ignoring objects
just beyond the bit. The
rugged harsh duty sensor
survives constant exposure
to lubricants, cutting fluids
and flying metal chips.
Broken Bit Detection
A tubular E57 proximity
sensor is used to detect the
presence of a drill bit—should
the drill bit be broken the
sensor would signal a
controller.
Machining Processes
A ferrous only sensor is used
in a process where aluminum
is being machined. The
ferrous only sensor ignores
the aluminum (non-ferrous)
chips from the machining
process and only detects the
ferrous target.
To o l P o s i t i o n
A tubular E57 proximity
sensor is used to detect the
position of a tool chuck.
