0.5μm in repetitive accuracy and IP67 protective structure
High-precision Limit Switch

Precision Limit Switch

Hi, I'm Ayaka Saito who works in Marketing department at Metrol.
I would like to introduce "MT series" featuring 0.5μm in repetitive accuracy with IP67 protective structure.

MT series were co-invented with TOYOTA as a precision switch which can stably output the ultra-high-accuracy positioning signals under harsh working conditions.

Let's check the application and specification !

0.0005mm repeatability has been proven by painstaking testing
0.001mm repeatability has been proven by painstaking testing

Starting in 2017, Metrol Switch is available on Metrol's Direct sales site.

The origin of Precision Positioning Switches

"Precision Positioning" - Essential for Manufacturing.

An industrial-use mechanism which supports work at manufacturing sites.
One of the most essential elements when it comes to improving product quality and productivity is 'positioning'.

Precision positioning can be extremely difficult to achieve, even with the latest digital technologies. This is where Metrol's 'Precision Positioning Switch" steps up. The switch boasts high repeatability, helping improve the accuracy and automation of industrial machines, at an entirely reasonable price. ...

0.5μm High Repeatability

One of the great advantages of Metrol's "Precision Positioning Switches" is "high repeatability".
"Repeatability" is the range (R) which represents the difference between the maximum value and minimum value obtained from the variation in the signal point when the contacting part of the switch presses the detected object in 30 times...
