There are hundreds of manufacturers of tanks, silos, pressure vessels, truck tanks and metal rolls components all over the world. Most of these companies need to produce or source Dished Ends of various types, sizes and specifications to complete their products.However, there are only few Dished Ends manufacturers that can supply this kind of product, a golden reason Dished End Production has become a very profitable business and a craft that companies are carrying on and conserving generation after generation.Faccin, one of the largest production companies in the world for bending systems and rolling machines, with ISO 9001: 2008 and…
main SENSOR is based on an innovative measuring principle, which has been developed by Micro-Epsilon in order to combine the advantages of both inductive and magnetic sensors. Magneto-inductive sensors are frequently used as alternative to inductive sensors and proximity sensors in process automation, the packaging industry and in machine monitoring. Measuring the distance to a magnet which is fixed at the measurement object, the sensors outputs a continuous, linear output signal. As different strength magnets are applied, measuring ranges of between 20mm and 55mm can be achieved. However, in order to adapt the measuring range, it is only necessary to…
