From automotive manufacturing to the selection and ordering of semiconductors, industrial robots have many different applications. Any repetitive work will be considered to be completed by automated means, especially difficult, unsafe or need to be completed in a harsh environment.

Question

Industrial robot systems are expensive to build, so it's critical to make sure they're being operated and maintained in the right steps-any "down" failure can be costly!

The oil in the system is used to lubricate the connections and gears of the machine to prevent overheating, misalignment and bearing wear. If the oil leaks during operation, it will pollute the surrounding environment, damage the product and affect the performance of the machine.

Therefore, timely detection when the oil level becomes low is the key to avoid costly losses.

Programme

SSTLiquid level sensorThe use of single-point optical level switch technology can detect the presence or absence of any liquid, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution. On top of that,SSTThe sensor has no wear of moving parts, is resistant to high temperature and pressure, and only needs1mmLiquid contact or no contact with the sensing probe, these features make the level switch can protect the robot system from damage.

SSTThe liquid level switch can be made into a module that controls the change of liquid level, and can be quickly and easily integrated with the control system. Placed in the gearbox can detect the zui low level, or detect the presence of oil in the oil tank, which can provide timely indication of possible problems.

The discovery of liquid leakage in the early stage can avoid unnecessary cost losses, increase end-user confidence in the product, and bring value-added benefits to the customer's product or service.

Working principle

When the sensing probe of the level switch is exposed to air, the infrared light will be reflected back to the phototransistor within the probe tip, thus forming a strong optical coupling between the infrared diode and the phototransistor. When the sensing probe is immersed in a liquid, infrared light is refracted from the tip of the probe, resulting in a decrease in the amount of light received at this end of the phototransistor, thus triggering a change in output state.

Installation Scenarios

The level switch has a variety of installation options:
