Research shows that machine control technology allows experienced operators to run 41% faster and 75% more accurate, while new operators run 28% faster and 100% more accurate. That explains why the industry is leaping forward in developing more operator assist or full automation solutions. Driven by the market demand and innovation trend towards safety, productivity, and cost reduction, enabling intelligent machine control has been one of the strategic areas for new product development. Honeywell’s advanced position sensing portfolio utilizing either Hall effect or MagnetoResistive sensing has been assisting customers with more automation, monitoring, and control capabilities. This includes RTY/RTP sensors, smart position sensing family, TARS (Transportation Attitude Reference System), and swing angle sensors. The product being introduced is a configuration type of the SMART Arc position sensor. It is packaged and CAN communication enabled and is specifically designed for direct and absolute position sensing in pinned joint applications.
