Sen­sors

Sen­sors are the sen­so­ry or­gans of smart ma­chines. Thanks to a wide range of func­tio­nal prin­ciples, they solve a va­rie­ty of ap­pli­ca­tions qui­ck­ly, sa­fe­ly and sus­tai­na­bly. From pho­toe­lec­tro­nic sen­sors to ul­tra­so­nic sen­sors, in­duc­tive sen­sors and fluid sen­sors, as well as sa­fe­ty tech­no­lo­gy and soft­ware so­lu­tions for sen­sor ope­ra­tion and pa­ra­me­tri­za­tion – the com­pre­hen­sive port­fo­lio of­fers the right so­lu­tion for all types of fac­to­ry au­to­ma­tion. In ad­di­tion to the wide range of func­tio­nal prin­ciples, users also be­ne­fit from the broad se­lec­tion of de­si­gns that en­able the sen­sors to be ins­tal­led in any in­dus­trial sys­tem.
 

Pho­toe­lec­tro­nic Sen­sors

Contact­less De­tec­tion of Ob­jects

Pho­toe­lec­tro­nic sen­sors can de­tect or count ob­jects wi­thout contact, mea­sure dis­tances and de­tect co­lors, gloss or lu­mi­nes­cence using light. The ad­di­tio­nal connec­tion of spe­cial fiber-​optic cables per­mits their use in ex­treme condi­tions such as cold, heat or li­mi­ted space.

Ul­tra­so­nic Sen­sors

Ultra-​Smart. Ultra-​Strong. Ul­tra­so­nic.

Ul­tra­so­nic sen­sors are sui­table for de­tec­ting trans­pa­rent, dark, glos­sy, re­flec­tive or po­rous sur­faces. They can de­tect ob­jects or li­quids des­pite the pre­sence of dirt, dust, mist or ex­tra­neous light. The mea­su­red va­lues are de­ter­mi­ned by trans­mit­ting and re­cei­ving ul­tra­so­nic waves which are out­put as vol­tage or via IO-​Link.

In­duc­tive Sen­sors

Re­liable Ob­ject De­tec­tion with In­duc­tion

In­duc­tive sen­sors de­tect me­tal­lic ob­jects through elec­tro­ma­gne­tic in­duc­tion. The many for­mats, hou­sing ma­te­rials and wide swit­ching dis­tances en­sure a wide va­rie­ty of ap­pli­ca­tions. Due to the fact that no mo­ving parts are used, these sen­sors are maintenance-​free, wa­ter­proof and im­per­vious to conta­mi­na­tion and im­pacts.

Fluid Sen­sors

Mea­su­re­ment in Li­quid and Ga­seous Media

Fluid sen­sors de­tect pa­ra­me­ters such as pres­sure, flow, tem­pe­ra­ture or fill level in li­quid or ga­seous media. The range of pro­ducts in­cludes mo­dels with one or two mea­su­ring func­tions, with an in­te­gra­ted ana­ly­sis mo­dule and dis­play, in stain­less steel or plas­tic, and with IO-​Link or two ana­log switch out­puts.

Sa­fe­ty Tech­no­lo­gy

In­tel­li­gent­ly Se­cure Sys­tems

Sa­fe­ty tech­no­lo­gy for body, hand and fin­ger pro­tec­tion is used to pro­tect both man and ma­chine. Cer­ti­fied ac­cor­ding to in­ter­na­tio­nal stan­dards, light bar­riers and cur­tains with or wi­thout mu­ting func­tions, sa­fe­ty switches, lo­cking de­vices, emer­gen­cy stops, re­lays and pro­tec­tion co­lumns pro­tect all pro­duc­tion sys­tems.

In­dus­trial RFID

Fast. Safe. Re­liable.

In­dus­trial RFID iden­ti­fi­ca­tion so­lu­tions en­able contact­less and vi­sual data trans­fer and as­si­gn­ment bet­ween RFID rea­ders and RFID trans­pon­ders via elec­tro­ma­gne­tic waves. In­for­ma­tion is ex­chan­ged re­lia­bly, even in chal­len­ging pro­cess en­vi­ron­ments – re­gard­less of conta­mi­na­tion and li­quids.  


 

Soft­ware

Soft­ware So­lu­tions for Confi­gu­ra­tion and Ser­vice

Soft­ware pro­ducts for sen­sors make it easy to set up and pa­ra­me­te­rize single or mul­tiple sen­sors from a cen­tral control­ler. They also make it pos­sible to carry out instrument-​independent cal­cu­la­tions, main­tain sen­sors re­mo­te­ly and pro­vide re­mote ac­cess to equip­ment in the event of sup­port.
