FAQs: Sensors for Automation Applications

They can be made of a variety of materials such as protective enclosures for detection devices in robotic systems and industrial machinery, precision housings, and brackets. There are housings for proximity sensors which protect inductive and capacitive sensors, and brackets for photoelectric sensors which position optical transmitters and receivers. There are also enclosures for vision systems which hold cameras and lighting, temperature sensor bodies which house thermocouples and RTDs, pressure transducer housings with threaded ports, and encoders with brackets for position feedback. Some sensing devices have protective enclosures designed for sensing equipment which require environmental protection rated IP65 or IP67.

Swiss-type CNC turning makes entire sensor bodied from bar stock. This includes automated threading, seal grooves, and built-in mounting features. Complex bracket geometries are made through the use of multi-axis milling, which also assists in making the routing cable channels. Precision thread cutting makes NPT and metric threads necessary for sensor installation. Seal grooves are customized around the O-ring for environmental protection. Cross-drilling makes cable access ports and sensing element passages. Bracket tapping threads are used for mounting.

Aluminum's light weight and thermal properties make it a good construction material for enclosures. It also has thermal conductivity to aid in heat dissipation, natural corrosion resistance to counter environmental damage, and can be machined to form complex geometries. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance which is required in washdown environments and food processing applications, and also retains structure. Brass is also good for corrosion and for machining threaded bodies on sensors, and provides electro-magnetic shielding. PEEK and polycarbonate are engineering plastics which are good for construction as they provide electrical insulation, chemical resistance, and light weight for non-metallic sensing requirements.

Rapid prototyping for design validation
Low-volume production for specialized aircraft
High-volume production with consistent quality control

Mounting hole positions are achieved to ±0.003 inches for repeatability and seal groove dimensions to the precise ±0.002 inches for IP65/IP67 environmental sealing. Overall housing dimensions are ±0.005 inches for consistent performance and accuracy in sensor output.
