Side proximity switch for Demag AC 615

The side proximity switch, part number 41403340, serves as an electronic sensor for the fourth boom section of the Demag AC 615 crane. It detects the presence of metallic objects without physical contact, providing the crane's control system with real-time feedback regarding the extension or retraction status of the boom. By monitoring this specific position, the sensor assists the control system in maintaining safe operational limits during lifting tasks.

This component is specifically intended for use on the Demag AC 615 model. It is engineered to detect metallic surfaces through inductive principles, which allows for consistent monitoring of boom alignment and configuration. By ensuring the control system receives accurate data on the boom's state, this switch helps prevent operation outside of defined safety parameters.

Proximity switches are commonly used in heavy machinery to track the movement of structural components. By detecting the position of boom sections or outriggers, these sensors provide the necessary inputs for the crane's safety systems to manage load charts and movement limits effectively. They are typically mounted in locations where precise detection of a component's location is required for the safe sequencing of crane operations.
