German SKAMET METALOWA sensors, SKAMET METALOWA models, SKAMET METALOWA prices

SKAMET METALOWA sensors are used in robots to mimic tactile functions. Tactile sense is an important sensory function when humans directly contact the external environment. Developing tactile sensors that meet requirements is one of the key technologies in robot development. With the development of microelectronics and the emergence of various organic materials, a variety of development plans for tactile sensors have been proposed, but most are currently at the laboratory stage, with few reaching commercialization. Tactile sensors can be roughly classified by function into contact sensors, force-torque sensors, pressure sensors, and slip sensors.

SKAMET METALOWA sensor features

1) Since detection is performed in a non-contact manner, the detected object will not be worn or damaged. 2) Since a contactless output method is used, service life is extended (except for magnetic types). Semiconductor output is used, which has no effect on contact life. 3) Unlike optical detection methods, it is suitable for use in environments such as water and oil, and detection is hardly affected by stains, oil, water, etc. on the detected object. In addition, products with Teflon housings and good chemical resistance are included. 4) Compared with contact switches, high-speed response can be achieved. 5) It can correspond to a wide temperature range. 6) It detects changes in the physical properties of the detected object without being affected by the color of the detected object, so it is hardly affected by surface color, etc. 7) Unlike contact types, it is affected by ambient temperature, surrounding objects, and other similar sensors, including inductive and capacitive types, where sensors mutually influence each other. Therefore, mutual interference must be considered when installing sensors. In addition, for inductive types, the influence of surrounding metal must be considered, while for capacitive types, the influence of surrounding objects must be considered.

SKAMET METALOWA sensor selection principles

1) Selection of sensitivity: Generally, within the linear range of the sensor, the higher the sensitivity, the better. Only when the sensitivity is high is the output signal value corresponding to the change in the measured quantity relatively large, which is beneficial for signal processing. However, it should be noted that if the sensor sensitivity is high, external noise unrelated to the measured quantity is also easily mixed in and amplified by the amplification system, affecting measurement accuracy. Therefore, the sensor itself is required to have a high signal-to-noise ratio to minimize interference signals introduced from the outside. Sensor sensitivity is directional. If the measured quantity is a single vector and high directionality is required, a sensor with low sensitivity in other directions should be selected; if the measured quantity is a multi-dimensional vector, the cross-sensitivity of the sensor should be as small as possible. 2) Frequency response characteristics: The frequency response characteristics of the sensor determine the frequency range of the measured quantity, and distortion must be maintained within the allowable frequency range. In practice, there is always a certain delay in the sensor's response, and the shorter the delay time, the better. The higher the frequency response of the sensor, the wider the measurable signal frequency range. In dynamic measurements, response characteristics should be selected according to the characteristics of the signal (steady-state, transient, random, etc.) to avoid excessive errors. 3) Linear range: The linear range of a sensor refers to the range where the output is proportional to the input. Theoretically, within this range, sensitivity remains constant. The wider the linear range of the sensor, the larger its measuring range, and it can ensure a certain measurement accuracy. When selecting a sensor, once the type of sensor is determined, the first thing to check is whether its measuring range meets the requirements. However, in reality, no sensor can guarantee absolute linearity, and its linearity is relative. When the required measurement accuracy is relatively low, within a certain range, a sensor with small non-linear error can be approximated as linear, which brings great convenience to measurement. 4) Stability: The ability of a sensor to maintain its performance unchanged after a period of use is called stability. Factors affecting the long-term stability of a sensor, in addition to the sensor's own structure, are mainly the sensor's operating environment. Therefore, to ensure good stability of the sensor, the sensor must have strong environmental adaptability. Before selecting a sensor, its operating environment should be investigated, and a suitable sensor should be selected according to the specific operating environment, or appropriate measures should be taken to reduce the impact of the environment. Sensor stability has quantitative indicators. After exceeding the service period, recalibration should be performed before use to determine whether the sensor's performance has changed. In some occasions where the sensor is required to be used for a long time and cannot be easily replaced or calibrated, the stability requirements for the selected sensor are stricter, and it must be able to withstand long-term tests.5) Accuracy: Accuracy is an important performance indicator of a sensor and is an important link related to the measurement accuracy of the entire measurement system. The higher the accuracy of the sensor, the more expensive its price. Therefore, the accuracy of the sensor only needs to meet the accuracy requirements of the entire measurement system, and it is not necessary to select too high accuracy. This allows for the selection of cheaper and simpler sensors among many sensors that meet the same measurement purpose. If the measurement purpose is qualitative analysis, a sensor with high repeatability accuracy can be selected, and it is not advisable to select one with high absolute value accuracy; if it is for quantitative analysis and precise measurement values must be obtained, a sensor with an accuracy grade that meets the requirements must be selected. For some special application occasions where suitable sensors cannot be selected, sensors need to be designed and manufactured independently. The performance of self-made sensors should meet the usage requirements.

SKAMET METALOWA sensor usage precautions

1) High-temperature environments cause problems for sensors such as melting of coating materials, opening of solder joints, and structural changes in internal stresses of the elastic body. For sensors working in high-temperature environments, high-temperature resistant sensors are often used; in addition, devices such as heat insulation, water cooling, or air cooling must be added. 2) Dust and moisture cause short-circuit effects on sensors. In these environmental conditions, sensors with high sealing should be selected. Different sensors have different sealing methods, and their sealing properties vary greatly. Common sealing methods include filling or coating with sealant; mechanical fastening sealing with rubber gaskets; welding (argon arc welding, plasma beam welding) and vacuum nitrogen-filled sealing. In terms of sealing effect, welded sealing is the best, and filled/coated sealant is the worst. For sensors working in clean and dry indoor environments, sensors with adhesive sealing can be selected, while for sensors working in environments with high humidity and dust, sensors with diaphragm heat-shrink sealing, diaphragm welding sealing, or vacuum nitrogen-filled sealing should be selected. 3) In highly corrosive environments, such as humidity and acidity, which cause damage to the elastic body or short circuits in sensors, sensors with plastic-sprayed outer surfaces or stainless steel covers, which have good corrosion resistance and good sealing, should be selected. 4) The influence of electromagnetic fields on sensor output disorder signals. In this case, the shielding of the sensor should be strictly checked to see if it has good electromagnetic immunity. 5) Flammability and explosiveness not only cause thorough damage to sensors but also pose a great threat to other equipment and personal safety. Therefore, sensors working in flammable and explosive environments have higher requirements for explosion-proof performance: in flammable and explosive environments, explosion-proof sensors must be selected. The sealed cover of such sensors must consider not only its sealing but also explosion-proof strength, as well as the waterproof, moisture-proof, and explosion-proof properties of the cable lead-out head.
