Summary
Troublesome Cam Adjustments Made Easy By An Electronic Switch Format
A mechanical cam switch format using limit switches and cams has long been the standard in automatic
machinery such as packing, printing, press, and assembly machines, and difficult angular adjustment
and switch replacement procedures have long been the cause of headaches.
Now, with the VS-5E Series, this mechanical switch format has been replaced with an easy electronic
cam switch format. With our durable Absocoder sensor mounted on the rotational axis, the switch
ON/OFF positions can be easily designated from the Controller to obtain cam outputs witch correspond
to the rotational angle.

The operating principle is the same as the mechanical cam
switch format which incor
