1-1. Summary
A mechanical type cam switch has been used in order to detect a rotation angle in automatic machinery such as
packing, printing, press, and assembly machines. However, difficult angular adjustment and switch replacement
procedures have long been onerous tasks.
VS-5F Series is an electronic type cam switch which is substituted for a mechanical type cam switch.
VARICAM is used in combination with a position detection sensor “ABSOCODER” which has excellent
environment-proof.
ABSOCODER is mounted on the rotational axis, so the ON and OFF angle can be easily designated to
VARICAM that obtain cam outputs which correspond to the rotational angle.
●New function
VARICAM “VS-5F Series” keeps existing functions of VS-5E Series; moreover, it is added more new functions.
-Motion detection switch function
- Hysteresis function
- Switch output enabling function
- External error cancel input function
- Arbitrarily pulse output
- Serial communication function
- Speed output function
- Password function (only for SP1)
For new function details, refer to “1-4. Function”.
Mechanical type timing cam switch
The angle adjustment and
replacement of the limit switch
is very hard.
Excellent environment-proof
position detection sensor
Easy operation
ON/OFF-position settings are
designated by a simple key
