In modern packaging machines, pneumatic cylinders perform rapid pushing and sealing motions thousands of times per hour. The SICK MZT8-28VPS-KP0 ensures each movement is detected with exceptional accuracy, thanks to its 1 kHz switching frequency and compact 24 mm design. Its IP68 protection keeps it safe from dust and cleaning sprays, while the LED indicator allows quick setup. This makes it ideal for production lines where precision timing and continuous operation are critical to minimize waste and ensure consistent packaging performance.
Robotic systems often rely on pneumatic clamps to hold components during assembly or welding. The MZT8-28VPS-KP0 provides reliable confirmation of each clamp’s position, ensuring safety and process consistency. Its strong magnetic sensitivity and repeatability help avoid false signals even under vibration or mechanical stress. The sensor’s slim profile fits easily in confined spaces, while its durable cable withstands millions of flex cycles—perfect for automated lines where movement and long operating hours are constant.
In metal-forming and stamping applications, cylinders must reach precise end-positions to maintain quality and prevent tool damage. The MZT8-28VPS-KP0 delivers consistent piston detection in tie-rod cylinders using adapter mounting. Its short overrun distance and high switching reliability enable exact end-stroke confirmation. Built-in protection against polarity errors and voltage surges ensures long-term durability, keeping production stable in harsh press environments where shocks and temperature variations are routine.
Food production lines require sensors that can endure constant washdowns and temperature fluctuations. The MZT8-28VPS-KP0, with its sealed IP68-rated body and corrosion-resistant PA12 housing, detects piston positions in pneumatic diverter cylinders without being affected by moisture. Its fast response and high magnetic precision keep conveyors synchronized, while its resistance to cleaning agents and drag-chain motion ensures reliable long-term operation—perfect for maintaining hygiene and uptime in food-grade manufacturing zones.
