Lumber Planers

Linear Position Sensors for Lumber Planers
Problem
For many years, finishing applications such as planers have typically used manual adjustment. They are now looking to automate their positioning needs.

Solution
The 953 VMax LDT offers superior performance when it comes to shock, vibration, and temperature. In addition, it offers resolutions down to 1 micron. When tied back to the host controls, the 953 VMax can automate machinery and optimize production capabilities with superior accuracy controls.

Benefits
• Drop-in replacement for competitive model LDT’s
• Programmable zero and span
• Diagnostic LED
• Able to withstand high shock and vibration

Conclusion
The 953 VMax can be used as a linear feedback. We can also supply a complete system using the 2120 Interface Module to monitor planer positioning.
