Are you looking for digital output options for your systems? We have summarized below the 3 options available from Lion Precision both for Eddy Current and Capacitive sensors, their benefits, and their specs.

Eddy Current Sensors

ECD360

Lion Precision’s ECD360 is a miniaturized digital eddy current driver with up to 6 channels. The driver is available as either an easily mountable board for installation in a control system or in a compact 95 x 105 mm (3.74” x 4.13”) enclosure. With 6 channels operating it draws less than 4 watts of power. It has an SPI (LVDS) digital output, as well as a USB output, and multiple systems can be synchronized to prevent crosstalk between sensors.

Benefits

  • Ranges from 0.25 mm to 15 mm
  • Probe can be used in wet, dirty environments
  • Selectable Bandwidth/Resolution 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, 15 kHz
  • Probes can be ordered as vacuum compatible
Specs*

  • Resolution:
    • Nonferrous: 15 kHz – 0.007% | 100 Hz – 0.002%
    • Ferrous: 15 kHz – 0.009% | 100 Hz – 0.003%
  • Selectable bandwidth: 100 Hz, 1, 10, 15 kHz
  • Ranges: 0.25 mm to 15.0 mm
  • Linearity: 0.2% of Range
  • Driver Temperature Drift (15ÂșC-50ÂșC): 0.01% F.S./ ÂșC
  • Driver Operating Environment: 4-50ÂșC | IP40

 

ECD310

Lion Precision’s ECD310 is a miniaturized digital eddy current driver available with 1 or 2 channels. The driver is designed as an easily mountable board for installation in a control system. It has an EtherCAT digital output, as well as an SPI output. The channels are synchronized, preventing crosstalk between sensors.

The ECD310 digital driver works with all of Lion Precision’s rugged eddy current probes. This enables ranges from as small as 0.25 mm to 15 mm. It has bandwidths from 100 Hz to 15 kHz that are adjustable via the digital interface.

  • Embeddable
  • User-Selectable Bandwidth 100 Hz, 1, 10, 15 kHz
  • Probes can be ordered as vacuum compatible
Specs*

  • Input power: 12-36 VDC, 3 W
  • Linearity Error: ± 0.3% F. S
  • Error Band: ± 0.6% F. S
  • Operating Temperature: 4-50ÂșC
  • Probe Operating Environment: -25ÂșC to +125ÂșC
  • Temperature Coefficient Driver: ± 0.04% F.S. / ÂșC
  • Temperature Coefficient Probe: ± 0.04% F.S. / ÂșC

Capacitive Sensors

CPL590

The CPL590 is a high resolution, high speed digital capacitive driver for displacement measurement applications requiring the highest resolution. The small 2U size reduces the space requirements for mounting and the digital capability allows for up to 4 range calibrations for the probe. The CPL590 works with all of the capacitive probes.

Benefits

  • Small 2U Size
  • Digital Adjustment
  • Visual Range Indicator
  • Adjustable Zero
  • Up to 4 Ranges for 1 Probe
  • Single or Multiple Channel enclosures
Specs*

  • Typical Resolution
  • 0.0005% @ 100 Hz typical
  • 0.003% @ 15 kHz typical
  • Selectable bandwidth: 100 Hz, 1, 10, 15 kHz
  • Linearity: <0.1% F.S. typical
  • Maximum Drift: 0.04% F.S. / ÂșC
  • Operating Temperature: 4-50Âș C
  • Outputs: SPI, EtherCAT, USB
