In the digitalization stage, the first step of the development path of Industry 4.0, Sick is committed to the design and development of intelligent sensors, aiming to lay a solid hardware foundation for digital transformation.

Now, Sick has added a new member to the family of smart sensors – the magnetic corner sensor MAS.

1. Product overview

SICK introduces the magnetic rotation sensor MAS

　　MAS is a bearingless angle sensor based on the magnetic principle, which realizes angular position measurement with non-contact detection and 12-bit resolution.

The MAS supports IO-Link communication, which digitally displays and outputs angles, and has 3 physical outputs and 3 communication outputs, including 32 configurable angle zones. IP68 protection for stable detection even in harsh field environments.

2. Working principle

　　The MAS consists of an induction magnet and a sensor.

When used, the magnet is installed on the axial end face of the rotary part, the part rotates to drive the magnet to rotate, and the sensor receives the rotation angle data of the magnet for positioning.

　　5. Industry application

　　Machining – magazine position detection (replacement of cam boxes)

When inspecting the position of the tool magazine of a machine tool, a small proximity switch is usually installed in the cam box to determine the position of the tool magazine by detecting whether the groove of the rotary shaft is in place.

Now using MAS, it completely replaces the cam box mechanism and saves hardware costs.

The induction magnet is installed in the center of the end face of the rotating shaft, which is detected without contact with the sensor and prolongs the service life.

At the same time, the IO-Link communication mode is used to directly output the angle measurement value, which improves the digitalization of the device.

Transportation – Gate landing position detection

　　Magnets and sensors are installed in the rotating part of the barrier to replace the traditional limit switch scheme.

The split design greatly extends the service life and reduces maintenance costs.

Position information can be obtained through 3 physical outputs or IO-Link, with a variety of options to improve security and intelligence.
