Application of Yijia limit switches in mechanical equipment

2024-07-25

In the field of industrial production, the degree of automation is getting higher and higher, and industrial robots, as an important production tool, have been widely used in various industries.

In order to meet the demanding control requirements of industrial robots, Yijia has introduced the Limit switch series of push-button switches designed specifically for industrial environments.

With its rugged design, high level of protection, various specifications and modes of operation, and easy installation, the switches are a reliable partner in the field of industrial robot control.

Limit switches are commonly used as electrical control components in mechanical equipment to detect and control mechanical movement. Yijia limit switches are widely used in various types of mechanical equipment due to their high reliability, durability and diversified product lines.

Advantages

High precision: can provide accurate position signals to ensure accurate operation and positioning of equipment.
Durability: Made of high-quality materials, it has excellent wear resistance and can work stably for a long time in harsh industrial environments.
Diversity: have a variety of models and specifications to meet the needs of different industrial applications.
Safety: Built-in overload protection function can effectively prevent equipment from being damaged due to overload and ensure the safety of operators.

Industrial application scenarios

Automated production line

In automated production lines, limit switches are often used to control the range of motion and position of equipment such as manipulators, conveyor belts, and lifting platforms. For example, when a manipulator moves to a specified position, it will be triggered to send a signal to the control system to stop the manipulator or change the direction of motion to avoid collision or exceeding the safe range. The high precision and fast response capabilities of Yijia limit switch ensure the efficient operation and safety of the production line.

CNC machine tools

In CNC machine tools, Yijia limit switch can accurately detect the position of the tool to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the machining process. When the tool moves to the trigger position of the limit switch, the machine tool control system will adjust the tool’s movement path in time according to the signal to avoid tool collision or machining size deviation. The use of limit switches not only improves machining accuracy, but also reduces equipment damage and downtime.

Elevator system

In elevator systems, limit switches play a vital role in safety protection. Yijia limit switches can detect the position of the elevator car. When the car reaches the top or bottom floor, the limit switch cuts off the power supply to prevent the elevator from exceeding the operating range. At the same time, the limit switch can also prevent the elevator from starting when the elevator door is not fully closed, ensuring the safety of passengers. These functions effectively improve the safety and reliability of elevator operation.

Crane

In the crane, the limit switch is used to detect the position of the hook or boom to prevent it from exceeding the safety range. For example, when the hook rises to the highest point or falls to the lowest point, the limit switch will be triggered, and the control system will immediately stop the movement of the hook to prevent the danger caused by excessive lifting or falling. The high durability and anti-interference ability of Yijia limit switches ensure the stable operation of the crane in harsh environments.

Packaging machinery

In packaging machinery, limit switches are used to detect the position and state of packaging materials. For example, in an automatic sealing machine, the limit switch can detect whether the packaging bag is in place correctly, and only when the packaging bag is in place will the sealing machine start the sealing program. This not only improves packaging efficiency, but also ensures packaging quality. The high sensitivity and reliability of Yijia limit switches make it an important component in packaging machinery.

Printing equipment

In printing equipment, limit switches are used to control the movement position of printing rollers and paper. For example, when the paper reaches the specified position, the limit switch triggers a signal to start the printing cylinder for printing operation. The high precision and long life of Yijia limit switches ensure the continuity of the printing process and the printing quality.

Woodworking machinery

In woodworking machinery, limit switches are used to detect the position and processing status of wood. For example, in an automatic sawmill, the limit switch can detect whether the wood is placed correctly, and only when the wood is in place will the sawmill start the cutting program. The high durability and dust resistance of Yijia limit switches make them perform well in woodworking machinery.

Difference between relay switch and

Although both limit switch and relay switches are used for electrical control, there are some differences in their principles, structures and application scenarios:

Different working principles: limit switch directly trigger the switch action through objects, while relay switches control the switch contacts through electromagnetic coils.
Different contact capacity: The contact capacity of limit switch is relatively small, which is suitable for directly controlling low-voltage and low-current circuits; while the contact capacity of relay switches is large, which can control high-voltage and high-current loads.
Different application scenarios: limit switch are mainly used to detect and control the position and stroke of mechanical equipment, while relay switches are more used for remote control, logic control and circuit switching in automatic control systems.
Different response speed: The response speed of limit switches is relatively slow, which is affected by mechanical structure and spring performance; while the response speed of relay switches is faster, especially solid-state relays can achieve high-speed switching.
Different use environment: limit switches are usually installed directly on mechanical equipment and need to adapt to harsh industrial environments; while relay switches are mostly installed in control cabinets, and the environment is relatively good.

Yijia limit switches have been widely used in various types of mechanical equipment due to their high reliability, accuracy and diversified product lines. Whether in automated production lines, CNC machine tools, elevator systems, or in cranes, packaging machinery, printing equipment and woodworking machinery, they play an important role. By accurately detecting and controlling the movement position of mechanical equipment, Yijia limit switches not only improve the operating efficiency and safety of equipment, but also provide a reliable solution for industrial automation.
