There are various detection elements such as reed switches, Hall elements, MR elements, and TMR elements, but our company utilizes a unique "saturable coil" for sensing. Since the outputs are generated individually for the N and S poles, the range of applications expands depending on the combination of magnets used. By selecting the appropriate magnets, the detection distance can be extended to over 100mm. It can detect magnets underground. Depending on the application, it can also sense within the soil of golf courses, baseball fields, and various sports venues. For example, if the S pole is detected for positioning, it can decelerate, and if the N pole is detected, it can stop. Normally, it operates under N pole control, and if the S pole is detected, it can perform an unconditional emergency stop with a single switch. By using N and S magnets on tags, binary codes can be created, which can also be utilized for sorting tasks. Since it detects the magnetic field generated by the magnets, it is not affected by dirt or dust. Sample lending is available. Magnet polarity discrimination, non-contact detection, from manufacturing lines to inspection jigs, it can be used in various situations. Custom options, such as a fully submerged type, are also available while maintaining the electrical specifications.

At a wood processing manufacturer, there were frequent troubles with the conveyor for transporting "particle boards (3×6 feet × 80 sheets/1 lot)." There were requests such as, "The conveyor's top chain reaches its material lifespan at 1,650 rotations, so we want to replace it before then," and "We want a sensor that can reliably count so that we can ensure it is worn out by 1,650 rotations." Therefore, we installed the magnetic proximity switch "DW-350" made by Makome Research Institute under the conveyor and attached the magnetic body "SMG-100N" to the top chain. As a result of the improvement, by installing the "DW-350," we were able to manage the count of the top chain, transitioning from reactive maintenance to preventive maintenance. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We have been using a stirrer for drug formulation, and until now, we managed the mixing process by timing it with the stirrer's button. Although we adjust the stirring time based on seasonal conditions, managing it by time means that any malfunction could lead to insufficient mixing and result in product defects. There have been requests such as "I want to monitor whether the stirrer is definitely running" and "I want to manage the stirrer's rotation speed and shorten the changeover time." We installed the magnetic proximity switch "DW-100" manufactured by Makome Research Institute on the stirrer, placing the "DW-100" next to the stirrer shaft, and affixing the magnetic bodies "SMG-100N" and "SMG-100S" around the shaft. As a result of this improvement, by installing the "DW-100," we can now manage the count of the stirrer, making the changeover process smoother. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In general proximity sensors, only ON/OFF signals can be extracted, but with magnetic sensors, N-pole and S-pole signals can be extracted individually. Depending on the idea, it is possible to implement both hardware and programming. As application examples: ◎ Deceleration (N-pole) / Stop (S-pole) ◎ Stop (N-pole) / Emergency Stop (S-pole) ◎ Addition (N-pole) / Subtraction (S-pole) It can also be used to utilize address codes as three-value codes.
