Koşul
As a by-product of machining workpieces, cutting machine tools produce a significant amount of swarf for which there is no use. But given that the swarf fills such a large volume, it is necessary to permanently discharge it into a swarf hopper because they would otherwise disrupt the production of further workpieces. The level in this swarf hopper needs to be permanently monitored.
Geri dönüşüm
As the edges of the swarf are very sharp an optical solution was chosen here, to stay out of contact with the swarf. Using the optical distance sensor O1D100, the level is
detected from above. When the maximum level is reached, the sensor provides a signal for emptying of the swarf hopper.
Müşteriye sağladığı yararlar
Production of the workpieces in the machine tools is not interrupted unnecessarily as the emptying of the swarf hoppers is automated. This means an increase in productivity.
