90 seconds to create custom nut detection smart sensor using the PocketCodr App

Contrinex is well known for the sensing performance of its inductive sensors, but its innovative and high-performance Smart sensors now enable production engineers to create customised sensors. Producing a sensor optimised for each nut it is detecting is impressive. Still, the PocketCodr unit and its companion app for phones or tablets are astounding because they make it so simple and fast for any engineer to configure the sensor using the app.

To illustrate this, this 90 second video shows how to configure the sensor, using the simple step-by-step instructions on the PocketCodr App.

In the video taken at the recent Smart Production Systems (SPS) exhibition in Nuremberg, a sensor is configured to detect the presence of a nut but not the surrounding metalwork. The programming takes less than 90 seconds and includes explaining the process and demonstrating the sensor.

The SMART AMS (Analogue Measurement Sensors) utilises Contrinex’s industry-leading precision inductive sensor technology. The Condist oscillator technology ensures excellent temperature stability and repeat accuracy, essential for precision measurement in the µm range.

The PocketCodr unit can also monitor in real-time and configure IO-Link sensors from any brand of manufacturer, offering a powerful diagnosis tool.
