Performance indicators for industrial sensors – Turck

In modern industrial production, especially in the process of automated production, it is necessary to use various sensors to monitor various parameters in the production process, so that the equipment is in normal or optimal condition, so that the product can reach the best quality. Therefore, it can be said that without many excellent sensors, modern production would have lost its foundation.

Industrial sensors not only have strict performance indicators, but also have very complex types. In terms of function, industrial sensors are divided into different categories such as photoelectric, thermal, gas, force-sensitive, magnetic, sound-sensitive, and moisture-sensitive. For example, anal robots are touched by several important sensors, including: three-dimensional vision sensors, force and torque sensors, collision detection sensors, safety sensors, welded joint tracking sensors, tactile sensors, etc.

In the field of sensor applications of intelligent production, there is a big distance between the profession. For petrochemical and other art professions, there are few new high-end industrial sensors that need to be used, but in the high-end production category, the positioning power of the sensor is still very low. As for some special components required for intelligent production, such as sensors that can withstand high temperature and high pressure, there is still a certain distance between reliability and stability.

In aerospace, military and other fields, in order to achieve autonomy, safety and control, some high-end sensors can be produced, developed and produced at any cost. However, when applied to the industrial sector, it is more cost-effective to purchase imported products at this stage. Regarding high value-added sensors, such as high-end motors, vision and force sense, China cannot produce them on a large scale and can only rely on imports. In order to pursue the consistency and reliability of the whole system, many sensors also need to use imported products.

In addition, in the early days, most of China's intelligent production equipment was imported from abroad, and the cost was very high. Later, after the introduction and digestion of domestic equipment enterprises, independent production was realized, but in order to facilitate the selection and stability of equipment operation, the original products were selected like sensors.

Application requirements for intelligently fabricated industrial sensors.

Industrial sensors are a key factor in testing whether a country's industry system is perfect. Industrial sensors not only have strict performance indicators, but also have very complex types. In terms of function, industrial sensors are divided into different categories such as photoelectric, thermal, gas, force, magnetic, sound, and humidity. Taking industrial robots as an example, several important sensors touched include: three-dimensional vision sensors, force and torque sensors, collision detection sensors, safety sensors, welded joint tracking sensors, touch sensors, etc.

Compared with civilian use, the industrial environment has higher requirements for sensors, considering stability, accuracy, and operation safety. Compared with consumer electronics and other civilian fields, intelligent industrial sensors have higher requirements for accuracy, stability, shock resistance and impact resistance. Industrial handling should be error-free. Sensors should not only be able to communicate in real time, but they should also be accurate enough. Sensors are used in different industrial fields, and their temperature, humidity and pH values have different individual requirements, and power consumption and rulers will be strictly constrained. For example, the pole environment at minus 60°C is a huge challenge.
