Production monitoring systems combined with a wide range of sensors are the basis of enhanced digital system integration. Kistler sensors are used in a variety of assembly processes to provide intelligent monitoring and control of production, generating improved product quality and enhanced productivity.

The maXYmos range of monitoring systems allow highly dynamic force  and torque signals to be monitored and controlled with high precision, even where space is limited and forces and torques are small. The graphic presentation makes the optimisation of production processes simple and accurate, whilst the integrated sequencer mode ensures reliable control of sequences across multiple measurement programs without additional PLC programming.

The option to configure the system entirely offline from a PC means the machine or plant needs to be stopped only briefly to upload or download the revised configuration when changes are made to the production process.

Using the Kistler Type 5074A digital charge amplifier, piezoelectric sensors can be integrated directly into the machine control via Ethernet. Plant and machinery manufacturers can integrate any desired piezoelectric sensors directly into a real time-capable Ethernet system (PROFINET, EtherCAT or EtherNet/IP).
