Non-contact and contactless angle sensors
Variohm EuroSensor has launched a software application for communication and programming of Contelec Vert-X series non-contacting and contactless angle sensors. Variohm offer OEMs the ability to reconfigure and customise the sensor curve and output characteristics over its 0º to 360º measurement range.
With on-assembly sensor configuration, the software has the potential to simplify stock control and reduce build and design timescales by removing the need to purchase several different types of angle sensor across different machines. Furthermore, the flexibility offered will allow specialist machine manufacturers the ability to program critical angle measurement characteristics such as joystick deadband, gearbox backlash or dancer arm neutral zone angles directly on the machine to suit performance requirements.
Vert-X Commander software is a simple-to-use PC based application supplied with a special cable that connects Singleturn Vert-X sensors via an Aardvark USB host adapter.
