IMS-10SRC

IMS probe - a new generation of inductive measuring probes with integrated signal processing and digital interface. The new IMS measuring probes are based on the reliable clearance-free ball bearings and the robust inductive measuring principle. But the sensible and sensitive analogue measuring signals are no longer transferred out of the case of the measuring probe via cables and then measured externally by electronics, instead they are processed and digitised directly inside the IMS measuring probes. An innovative measuring principle and highly integrated electronics make this milestone of new generation IMS measuring probes possible.

Mechanical characteristics

• Compact tube case, stainless steel 8h6
• High protection class for rough environments
• Clearance-free ball bearing for precise measurement
• Gauge spindle Ø 4, gauge slide M2.5
• Actuation by spring, vacuum, compressed air
• Cable pluggable at measuring probe for simple mounting/exchange on fixtures
• Simple extension of cables without influence on measuring values
• Bus cables for drastic reduction of connection cables and wiring

Characteristics of integrated electronics

• Optimal stable sensor signals without influence by cable/external interferences
• Individual error correction of each probe
• Adjustment tolerance of sensitivity [%] < 0.05
• Max. linearity error (±2 mm) < 1 µm
• Temperature drift (ppm/°C) = 20
• No errors by external measuring electronics
• Integrated temperature measurement provides temperature of measuring probe/fixture

Interface

• Simple wiring with ISi connection adapters and pluggable ISi extension cables to a bus with up to 60 probes/sensors (ISi bus)
• Identification of IMS measuring probes: Type, serial number, ..., next date of inspection can be requested directly from the probe
