Actuonix Actuator Position Indicator

Actuonix Actuator Position Indicator

The Actuonix Position Indicator provides instant, hardware-level visual tracking for all feedback-enabled linear actuators. Developing real-time position tracking readouts can require extensive microchip programming and custom software configurations. Fortunately, this standalone indicator display bypasses those complexities completely. It maps raw analog sensor data into a highly readable LED matrix display without requiring modification to your existing mechanical design. It is an excellent choice for operators who need instant, glanceable spatial feedback for their automated devices.

Key Features

• Instant Visual Mapping: Translates real-time analog feedback into a clear, glanceable LED scale readout.

• Dual Selective Display Modes: Features a single moving bar layout or a progressively stacking bar chart configuration.

• Zero Software Requirements: Operates completely natively without requiring any firmware compilation or software drivers.

• P-Series & T-Series Compatibility: Works flawlessly with any feedback-equipped actuator, including -P or track models.

• Compact Chassis Footprint: Easily mounts directly onto industrial control dashboards or custom remote-control benches.

• Simplified Hardware Hookup: Connects easily to existing actuator lines using basic wiring configurations.

• Low Current Demand: Minimizes system power draw, keeping your primary power supplies running efficiently.

Applications

Industrial automation technicians mount the Actuonix Position Indicator onto remote control panels to track the open/close percentages of hidden ventilation louvers and safety gates. Robotics builders use it on test benches to monitor the exact extension states of critical linkages during prototyping cycles. It is an ideal addition for marine automation layouts, heavy-duty flight simulation cockpits, and educational lab setups. Consequently, maintaining absolute situational awareness over hidden or distant moving components is incredibly simple.

Operational and Display Modes

Tailoring the feedback interface to suit varying cockpit or laboratory environments is managed easily via simple onboard hardware settings. Users can toggle between two distinct modes depending on their visual preference:

• Single Bar Tracking Mode: Displays a single illuminated LED segment that slides up and down the array like a cursor, mirroring the actuator’s displacement.

• Progressive Segment Fill Mode: Illuminates an expanding or contracting stack of sequential LED segments, functioning like a traditional graphic volume meter to indicate the total percentage of extension.
