Application Case of Atonm Magnetic Grid Read Head in Screw Lifts

I. Company Background and Pain Points of Requirements

A machinery equipment manufacturing enterprise specializes in producing various types of industrial screw lifts. As a commonly used lifting device, screw lifts are widely applied in industrial production, enabling the vertical lifting movement of heavy objects. They are often used in scenarios such as automated production lines, warehousing and logistics equipment, and height adjustment of industrial machinery. The screw lifts manufactured by this enterprise come in a variety of stroke specifications to meet the diverse needs of different customers.

In previous production, the enterprise mainly relied on traditional mechanical limit devices and simple motor feedback systems to control the position accuracy of screw lifts. This method has great limitations in precision control and is difficult to meet the operational scenarios with certain accuracy requirements. With the intensification of market competition and the gradual improvement of customers' requirements for equipment accuracy, the enterprise decided to upgrade and transform the position measurement and control system of screw lifts. It expects to improve the position accuracy to 0.1mm without significantly increasing costs, so as to expand the product application fields and market competitiveness.

II. Precision Selection and Adaptation

After researching and evaluating a variety of position measurement sensors, the enterprise learned about our magnetic grid read head products. After thoroughly understanding the working characteristics, stroke range, accuracy requirements and budget constraints of the enterprise's screw lifts, our technical team recommended the MH0-H200D model magnetic grid read head.

The Basic Parameters of the MH0-H200D Magnetic Grid Read Head Fully Meet the Enterprise's Requirements

With a resolution of up to 0.001mm, it far exceeds the enterprise's accuracy requirement of 0.1mm, and can provide high-precision position feedback signals for screw lifts. It adopts a non-contact measurement method, which effectively reduces mechanical wear, improves the service life and stability of the sensor, and is very suitable for the working characteristics of screw lifts with frequent reciprocating movements. In addition, it has a strong ability to resist harsh environments such as oil contamination, dust and vibration, which matches the complex working conditions that screw lifts often face in industrial production sites.

III. Professional Installation and Commissioning

During the installation process, Atonm's technicians cooperated closely with the enterprise's engineers. First of all, according to the structural characteristics of the screw lift, the magnetic strip was accurately installed on the lifting guide rail of the screw lift, ensuring that the magnetic strip could move smoothly along with the lifting movement of the screw. Moreover, the installation position of the magnetic strip ensured that the read head could accurately read its magnetic field signals. Then, the MH0-H200D read head was installed on the fixed bracket of the lift, and the relative position and distance between the read head and the magnetic strip were adjusted to put it in the optimal working state. Through careful installation and commissioning, the accuracy and stability of the entire measurement system were ensured.

IV. Excellent Application Results

In practical application, the MH0-H200D magnetic grid read head has performed excellently. When the screw lift is in operation, the read head can read the position information of the magnetic strip in real time and accurately, and convert it into electrical signals to transmit to the control system. The control system precisely controls the operation of the motor according to the received signals, so as to realize the accurate control of the lifting position of the screw lift. Whether in short-stroke or long-stroke lifting operations, the position accuracy can be stably controlled within 0.1mm, which fully meets the enterprise's accuracy requirements.

Furthermore, the high reliability and stability of this model of magnetic grid read head have brought great convenience to the enterprise. Thanks to its excellent anti-interference ability and environmental adaptability, it can still work continuously and stably in complex industrial production environments, reducing equipment downtime caused by sensor failures and improving production efficiency. At the same time, its simple installation and maintenance methods have also reduced the enterprise's maintenance costs and technical difficulty.

V. Cooperation Outlook

Through this application, the machinery equipment manufacturing enterprise has successfully improved the position control accuracy of screw lifts, expanded the product application scope, and enhanced the product competitiveness in the market. The enterprise has highly praised the performance of Atonm's MH0-H200D magnetic grid read head, and stated that in the subsequent product R&D and upgrading, it will continue to consider cooperating with Atonm and applying more of its advanced sensor products.
