We are doing a project of rotational mixer and I need a bestbuy solution for stopping the motor on a certain position. On the shaft there is located container and we must stop the mixer with the container cover lid on the upper side.
As the tolerance is high i believe, I am looking for the simple solution but also it would be good that the overmiss is not great. The shaft its self is rotating when on Max speed at 90 rpm.
As cheapest for now i think maybe welding the piece of material to the shaft and detecting it in each pass. Maybe inductive proximity switch for this?
When the timer expires, drive slowes down until it detects the object when in stops completely.
Also the sensor should be ATEX rated.
As we would put simple PLC and panel for easier operation, maybe there is another solution?
Any experience with something similiar, solution proposals for the task?
Thanks!
