Positioning Switch

: M5mm ultra slim design switches
at reasonable price

The precision machine type not causing a mutual interference, unlike proximity sensors, can detect stably by narrow pitch.

: 5μm in repetitive accuracy

The precision positioning switch using no amp does not cause signal point drift due to external environment or self-generation and can output stable high precision signals.
This position switches endure 10 million times operation mechanically and electrically.

: Eliminate costly intermediate actuators
and design the machine compact

Positioning Contact Switches need no dogs or intermediate actuators by the measuring element of the switch customized for the detected object.
This enables reducing cost and downsizing machines.

Applications

Detecting the starting position of machines

Controlling the starting point of machines by 5μm repeatability.

Positioning in the production line

The machine type without mutual interference can be installed by a narrow pitch.

Positioning of the XY table & stage

Higher positioning accuracy at the same price as a proximity sensor.

Questions & Answers

Questions:How should the switch be contacted with detected objects?

Answer:

Make contact with detected objects at right angle (within deflection angle ±3°)
If there is a possibility to press the plunger to the stroke end, install a stopper separately to prevent the malfunction.

Questions:Please let me know the LED display type.

Answer:

LED display is placed on the cable which is 120mm distance from switch body.
It will turn on when the switch is ON.

Don't Connect directly to the DC24V power supply. LED can be damaged.

Questions:Can Positioning Switch [CS series] be used in harsh environment with coolant?: Answer:

Positioning Switch [CS series] is not suitable for use in harsh environment such as where there are scattering of coolant.
We recommend using High-precision Positioning Switch [MT series] in that case.

Questions:How can I wire Metrol switches when replacing cuttently using proximity sensors?

Answer:

For wiring, please refer to the following.

Questions: Can I order and customize Switches?

Answer:

It depends on quantity and specifications of switches.
Please contact us for detail.
