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.

Application of Yijia limit switches in industrial automation

Yijia Industrial Control Electric Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer specializing in the production and sale of industrial control components such as push button switches, signal lights, and travel switches. Among them, the limit switches produced by Yijia are widely used in various industrial automation systems to detect the position of mechanical moving parts.

What is a limit switch?

A limit switches is an electromechanical device that automatically switches a circuit when the machine moves to a preset position. Limit switches are mainly used to control the extreme positions of mechanical movement and detect the presence and position of objects by contact or non-contact.

Limit switches have the characteristics of simple structure, easy use, sensitive response, and high reliability. They are commonly used basic components in the field of automation. This type of switch is commonly used in various industrial automation and mechanical control systems to ensure the safety and accuracy of equipment operation.

Main features of limit switches

  1. High reliability: Yijia limit switches are simple and stable in design, and can work reliably for a long time in various environments, especially suitable for high-frequency operation occasions.
  2. Quick response: The limit switch can respond quickly at the moment of contact with the object, ensuring that the system can process the position information in time.
  3. Easy to install and adjust: Most limit switches have a compact design and are easy to install and maintain. Users can adjust the position and operation of the switch according to specific application requirements.
  4. Diverse triggering methods: Limit switches can be triggered by mechanical contact or non-contact (such as magnetic, optical, etc.), suitable for different application scenarios.
  5. Affordable: Compared with other types of sensors, limit switches are usually less expensive, but can provide enough functions to meet basic position control needs.

Application scenarios of limit switches

Product detection and counting – When a product pushes a limit switch, a signal is sent to the control system. With simple PLC ladder logic, the user can count the number of times a product passes a limit switch and display a counter for the operator.

Personnel safety – Limit switches can be used to detect the opening of safety guards to stop and disconnect power to a machine. If the guard is opened during operation, the machine stops. If the guard is opened while the machine is stopped, the limit switch prevents the machine from starting. In both cases, limit switches are used to protect operators from potential injury.

Machine safety – Limit switches can be used to protect mechanical equipment from accidental damage. This includes changeover parts (end effectors), parts that may wear out over time (motor clutches), and parts that may damage other parts (gears, shafts, etc.).

Limit position control – In the automation industry, limit switches are used to precisely control the position and movement of robots, automated assembly lines, packaging machinery, etc. By monitoring and controlling the limit positions of mechanical equipment, limit switches can optimize production processes, reduce human errors, and improve efficiency and product quality.

Yijia limit switches have been widely used in the field of industrial automation due to their simple, reliable, and versatile features. Whether it is product detection and counting, personnel and machine safety protection, or equipment limit position control, Yijia limit switches can provide cost-effective solutions.
