Rail System
Lightweight Rails You Can Use with Confidence
Knight’s rail system offers both aluminum rails and steel rails.
Aluminum rails are lightweight and extruded, making operating loads lighter — this is their key advantage.
Steel rails feature high load capacity despite their compact size.
Both systems include excellent fall-prevention measures, providing safe and reliable lightweight rails for users.
Applications
- Transporting parts and products
- Rails for mounting auxiliary equipment
- Care-support rails
- Guides for lifting devices

Knight Rail System + Position Detection Unit
By combining the Knight rail system with a distance sensor kit, we have developed a unit that detects the current position on XY rails or X rails.

| Output Type | Output | Detection Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Analog Output | Voltage output (0–10 V) | 0.05–12 m |
| NPN / PNP switchable | 0.05–24 m |

Examples of Use
◇ Position control for balancers and hoists
Unlike conventional rotary encoders, there is no need to reset at a home position, so it is easy to always know where the equipment is located.
◇ Signal control for detecting delays or over-run on mass-production lines
Previously, 2–3 limit switches were used for this control, but now a single unit can output all required signals.
◇ Information tailored to the customer
We can provide various kinds of information according to your specifications and installation environment.
