Proxi-Loom

Power multiple sensors from a track loop without any physical contact to replace complex wiring harnesses. The Proxi-Loom is emerging as a powerful solution in many different industries where the number of sensors and ongoing changes to their location and configuration continue to drive up the cost of traditional solutions.

Benefits

  • No electrical terminations points = lower cost of installation and certification
  • Power moving sensors/devices
  • Move sensors/devices without needing to rewire them
  • Easily and instantly replace faulty sensors/devices

Applications

Mission critical solutions we have worked with include:

  • Materials handling systems where the cost of hard wiring sensors in variable configurations was adding huge cost to the installation and ongoing operating costs
  • Transmitting power through different substrates to deliver power to a series of devices without having to drill holes for wires and cables
