Sensors for Automotive Test and Assembly Applications

Honeywell’s Sensotec Sensors and Lebow Products are
used in a variety of applications in the automotive industry.

For over fifty years, Honeywell’s Sensotec Sensors and Lebow Products have provided the automotive industry with the most comprehensive line of sensor products designed specifically for automotive test and assembly applications. These sensors are used in a variety of applications from component testing all the way through full vehicle testing. From tires and shocks, power train, chassis and suspension, to full over the road tests, you will find Sensotec and Lebow sensor and instrumentation products a vital part of the test systems.

Honeywell products are used extensively throughout automotive assembly processes. Our extensive experience in applying sensors to part-to-part assembly, system-to-system assembly, metering and dispensing applications, welding and fastening applications, provides customers with optimum sensor choices which can help maximize application solutions.

Automotive Applications

Featured Product

Dual Output Load Cells and Torque Cells

The dual output of both digital and analog signals allows for flexibility for the customer with force/torque measurement applications where both conventional 0-5 VDC is required and digital output directly into a PC is needed. Digital output is available in both RS485 or RS232.

With less than 1 millisec step response on the analog output and greater than 300 readings per second on the digital output, Honeywell Sensotec’s digital output load cells and torque cells provide dual solutions. These products feature very good thermal characteristics because the effects of temperature are automatically corrected internally. The zero and span adjustments are made electronically—no need for manual adjustments. The digital output is especially useful on the manufacturing shop floor because it alleviates the problems of data measurement caused by EMI and RFI. In addition, the all-welded stainless steel construction is ideally suited for rugged application environments.

Model FP2000 Meets Demands of Engine Testing

Honeywell Sensotec’s Model FP2000 series of pressure transducers represents a long succession of engine testing applications. Starting in the 1970’s,with the very demanding requirements of jet engine testing, Honeywell Sensotec has decades of test and measurement experience into automotive power train testing.

The Model FP2000 pressure sensors are used to measure engine oil pressures, fuel pressures, manifold pressures and coolant pressure. Our FP2000’s are used as electronic barometers and also for leak tests in a cold crank conditions.

Unique Solutions for Liquid Gaskets, Adhesives, and Sealants Applications

Honeywell Sensotec’s broad range of automotive sensors extends into the many automated metering and dispensing applications used for automotive engine assembly and transmission assembly as well as final vehicle assembly.

The Models A-105, A-105a, and Model 355 are flush diaphragm miniature pressure transducers designed with all stainless steel welded construction. This special family of pressure sensors provides the industrial automation designer with sensor solutions unique to the application of liquid gaskets, adhesives, and sealants. The small size and small mass of the Models A-105, A-105a, and 355 make them ideal for installation in automated assembly robotic arms. Since each of these products has a flush diaphragm (no recess at all), clogging is eliminated and cleaning is simplified.
In addition, the small rigid sensing diaphragm provides the design engineer with the high frequency response and resolution required for precise control of the dispensing process. The sensing diaphragm and sensor body are electron beam welded—making the transducer extremely robust. Since up-time is critical in assembly applications, this feature is vital to the overall performance of the metering and dispensing system.
