Remote Power Sensing

The Power Remote line of sensing systems includes the G-Power Remote Series system. The new system provides a rotatable, rectangular head version for difficult mounting situations.

The G-Power Remote Series is designed to eliminate corrosion- and damage-prone slip rings and mechanical connection to provide a "connector-less" hook up to transmit power and signals to and from sensors on removable tooling and grippers, indexing tables and dies. Suitable for stamping dies, robots, testing machines, and packaging machinery, the system delivers power and signals across an air gap up to 12 mm, through glass or plastic.

The system is available in three transmitting housing styles. All G-Power Remote Series versions have an "In-Zone" LED to indicate proper alignment of the transmitter and receiver to simplify set-up and provide visual confirmation of system readiness.

The system works with most switches or sensors including mechanical, inductive, air pressure, photoelectric, capacitive, magnetic, and ultrasonic. A terminal box is provided to simplify cable hook-up and management between remote head and sensors. The passive-inductive G-Power Remote Series is not affected by, nor does it contribute to, RF or EMI interference.

It is designed to ensure positive power and sensor signal transmission in environments with oil, coolant, metal chips, dust, and other contaminants. Transmitting heads and the terminal box are sealed to IP67 for use in washdown environments.
