AI Technical Summary
Existing sensor holders require multiple tools for mounting and adjustment, lack guided axis adjustment, and are not adaptable for individual direction settings, leading to inefficiencies and complexity in sensor replacement.
A holder system comprising a basic module and sensor holder connected by a guide and lock, allowing for single-tool assembly, aligned directional axis adjustment, and individual direction setting, with an end stop for secure sensor attachment.
Facilitates efficient and streamlined sensor installation and replacement using a single tool, ensuring precise alignment and secure attachment without the need for multiple tools or complex adjustments.

Abstract
Description
[0001] Commonly used sensor holders usually have one or more of the following problems: • Different tools are required for mounting and adjusting the holder and the sensor. • The tool position for mounting and adjusting the holder and the sensor is carried out from different directional axes. • The sensor is not adjusted along guided axes. Clear adjustment in the X / Y direction is not possible. • Adjustment not possible for each direction individually. • Holders with elongated holes are not protected against rotation. • The holder does not have an end stop for easy sensor replacement. • To change the sensor type (e.g. from M12 to M8) a completely different holder is required.
[0002] These problems are solved with the holder system for initiators mentioned in claim 1.
[0003] The system consists of the following components: Basic module: Adapted to the respective mounting situation. See the following images: Fig. 1 = Image basic module for groove Fig. 2 = Image basic module slot Fig. 3 = Image basic module ø12mm Sensor holder: Adapted to the respective sensor See the following pictures: Fig. 4 = Image sensor holder M12 Fig. 5 = Image sensor holder M8
[0004] Both are always connected by the same guide and locking mechanism.
[0005] The system therefore meets the following requirements: • Only one tool (4mm Allen key) is required for mounting and adjusting the sensor and bracket. This saves time during installation due to unnecessary tool changes. • The tool position for mounting and adjusting the holder and sensor is always from the same directional axis. Regripping the tool is no longer necessary. • All axes required for adjustment are guided. • Adjustment and locking is possible for each direction individually. • The sensor holders have an end stop • The system consists of two components. The sensor holder can be replaced. The basic module remains the same.
