Mounting system puts sensors on the spot
The SoftNoze SMS sensor mounting system enables users to order, not fabricate, the sensor mounts they require.
The SoftNoze SMS sensor mounting system consists of several components, including mounting bases, rods and 'half-clamp' joints - which enable users to order, not fabricate, the sensor mounts they require The SoftNoze sensor mounting system is a virtual erector set of products that will save both time and money on sensor installations

Sensor mount cushions and protects
New from SoftNoze USA, the SN12LP is a low-profile cushioned sensor mount.
Limit switch has best of both worlds
The new Proxtrol limit switch (PLS) combines the reliability and extended life of electronic proximity sensors with the ease-of-use of traditional mechanical limit switches.
With unmatched flexibility and adaptability to most any sensor configuration, SMS technology is well positioned to: compete aggressively with end-user-designed mounting systems with off-the-shelf readiness; outperform products sold by companies that focus on sensors rather than mounting technologies; enable design engineers and installers to buy rather than design and fabricate the custom (complicated) mounts needed to correctly position proximity sensors.
No welding, fixturing or special tools are required.
The SMS sensor mounting system is a multiple, component-based mounting and aiming package designed for versatility and adaptability to virtually any end-user application.
Components include: base units, HalfKlamp sets, rods, couplers and brackets.
Using these five groups of components, virtually any x, y and z configuration can be established.
All components, except the HalfKlamp sets (which are nickel-plated diecast zinc alloy), are plated-steel alloy for long-term durability and ultimate stiffness.
Over a dozen host brackets are currently offered to support the most popular sensors, with additional brackets available as identified.
