 PCS
250
A "Smart" Sensor
If your needs call for a "teach-in" type
sensor, we’ll match the PCS 250 to anything on the market
and still save you hundreds of dollars per system, even
if you buy just one. The 250 is an amazingly smart sensor.
Smart because it learns and remembers tool or object location
at the touch of a button through 300° of CW or CCW
swing direction. Amazing because there is no miniature
reversing gear box necessary due to the fact there is no
encoder. The PCS 250 combines the tough, compact construction
of modern rotary position sensor technology and software
that’s unlike anything to come along in swing type sensors
in years. That also means the narrowest standard checking
window available from any teach sensor available today.
The result is a high-speed, tough American-made sensor
that’s ready to combat your toughest machining environments.

Teachings and Diagnostics
After mounting, teaching the sensor a tool
or object’s location is as simple as pressing the teach
button on the control box. Once the entire swing cycle
has been learned, any low tolerance deviation from those
parameters will be interpreted as a fault condition. This
signal is instantly passed to the machine’s cycle stop
or feed hold control. A system fault will also occur if
electronic failures exist between the sensor and the control
box such as in the case of a cable disconnect or short.

Control Box
One compact TCU 250 Control Box is required
for each PCS 250 Sensor utilized. Supply Voltage: either
24V DC (250 mA) or 120V AC with transformer provided. Operating
temperature: 0-55°C.
