| Going Beyond Limits
Plenty of switches and sensors for industrial applications look solid in a catalog or on a web page. Quite a few look pretty good in
the box when they arrive. Some have instructions that your team can actually follow. There might even be a human being at the
other end of a help-line or an office location if you would like to ask some questions or get some clarification. Theoretically, with any
number of companies offering industrial switches and sensors everything will be just fine.
Theoretically.
At Honeywell, our application experience puts theory into practice. We’re used to custom specs for conveyor lines, special requests
for CNC machines, tweaks to use our devices on pallet and packaging machines, making modifications in material handling
systems and hearing our customers’ engineers saying “I have an idea” when they’re talking about leading-edge robotics or 3D
printers. We say, “cool.”
We listen. And when we do, we can help you find a product in our vast array that exactly meets your requirements or tailor
something if needed – we’re great with custom assemblies, or adding wire, sheathing or connectors to a sensor or switch. We might
have some suggestions you haven’t thought about, and we’ll talk you through any decisions you need to make. Our global footprint
and channels give you immediate technical support – and help provide the best price for you too, all from one source. We haven’t
seen every application for all of our devices, but we’re up to that challenge!
Let’s take a look at some of our industrial workhorses and the places they work.
LIMIT SWITCHES
Limit switches are indispensable
on the factory floor. Widely used on
conveyor systems in dozens of ways
such as controlling product position
and flow, measuring the number or
height or weight of products moving
along the line. From machining
and milling to food processing and
packaging, limit switches meet literally
hundreds of application needs. That
is, of course, if you have enough
limit switch options to fill them all.
At Honeywell, we do! We start with
MICRO SWITCH limit switches. The
industry-defining name, and the
broadest and deepest limit switch
portfolios — with rugged, dependable
position detection solutions for industrial
equipment, process and material-
handling applications. Among many
others, our extensive line includes MICRO
SWITCH heavy-duty limit switches
(HDLS) and global limit switches like
the GLS Series, NGC Series and 914CE
Series miniature limits and the E6/V6
Series compact precision limit switch.
THEORY,
MEET PRACTICE
Rugged and dependable,
they are available with a wide variety of housing
materials, actuators, electrical characteristics, terminations, circuitry
configurations and sealing ratings to fit an extensive range of industrial
applications.
