Positioning Switch [CS]
Mutual interference
doesn’t occur!
Slim design,
High cost performance!
The best-selling precision positioning switches with a wide variety of shapes.
Reasons to choose Positioning Switch
M5 slim design switches at reasonable price.
The precision machine type not causing a mutual interference, unlike proximity sensors, can detect stably by narrow pitch.
Eliminate costly intermediate actuators and design the machine compact!
Positioning Contact Switches need no dogs or intermediate actuators by the measuring element of the switch customized for the detected object.
This enables reducing cost and downsizing machines.

Disadvantages of contact type
- Untouchable objects such as liquid or soft objects cannot be detected.
- The takt time might be longer because a switch takes time to touch a workpiece.
- Measuring range gets narrower compared to non-contact type due to detection by touching workpieces.
【 Metrol’s switches 】
- The high repeatability and precision positioning switches under harsh working conditions where coolant or cutting chips splatter. →High-precision Positioning Switch [MT]
- The world’s smallest size, the precision positioning in narrow spaces. →Ultra-small Precision Positioning Switch [PT]
Application
Positioning in the production line
The machine type without mutual interference can be installed by a narrow pitch.
Positioning of the XY table
Higher positioning accuracy at the same price as a proximity sensor.
Detecting the starting position of machines
Controlling the starting point of machines by 5 μm repeatability.
Open-Close confirmation of the brake friction pad
Stable detection of 0.5 mm or less of slight movement.
Detection of the conveyed object
Miniaturize the machine by installing the switch in a ball transfer.
Positioning of the metal sheet in spot welding
A mechanical type can realize stable positioning even under harsh working conditions subject to sputtering.
