MPS-G position sensors continuously detect the position of the fingers of pneumatic grippers and the piston position of miniature cylinders using a direct, non-contact method. The magnetic distance measuring system with the compact design enables extremely precise position determination. The sensor supports countless wiring and control concepts. SICK offers two product variants for this purpose: Sensors with analog voltage output and IO-Link sensors with Smart Sensor profile and two adjustable digital switching outputs – the right solution for nearly any requirement. Via IO-Link, the MPS-G also delivers comprehensive diagnostic data including performance data from pneumatic drives or data on condition monitoring of systems.
