micro unit 6: Sensors at Festo systems
In technology, sensors play an important role, as do they in the Smart Factory at our school. They are used for controlling, regulating, monitoring, and securing machine and equipment conditions, as well as process states.
They can be used to detect positions, locations, forces, moments, distances, angles, colors, temperatures, and pressures.
In the application of turning processes, sensors and actuators play a crucial role in ensuring the process flow works.
