Hi everybody.
I'm conceptualizing a design to provide shutdown system on cane conveyor. On the cane conveyour there are four cutter installed. When any of this four cutter is stop the conveyour should stop. I'm planning to put a speed sensor on the shaft of the cutter to provide a NC contact to stop the conveyour when any of the 4 cutter is stop. My design on the speed sensor are composed of worm gear and proximity sensor wired to the PLC. Can any one suggest what is the best type of proximity sensor to used on this application?
