Abstract
A sensor mount for use with a timber-working device includes a monolithic structure having a base portion configured to be secured to a frame of a timber-working device, and a sensor mounting portion including a cavity configured to receive a contactless sensor. The cavity has a sensor mounting surface for securing the contactless sensor thereto.
Claims20
A sensor mount, including:
- a monolithic structure including:
- a base portion configured to be secured to a frame of a timber-working device;
- a sensor mounting portion including a cavity configured to receive a contactless sensor, the cavity having a sensor mounting surface for securing the contactless sensor thereto.
A sensor assembly, including:
- a contactless sensor;
- and
- a sensor mount including a monolithic structure, the monolithic structure including:
- a base portion configured to be secured to a frame of a timber-working device;
- and
- a sensor mounting portion including a cavity configured to receive the contactless sensor, the cavity having a sensor mounting surface, wherein the contactless sensor is secured to the sensor mounting surface.
