Sensors for Liquids and Gases
Fluid sensors combine maximum precision with ease of use and flexible integration. The modular portfolio includes pressure, temperature, flow and fill-level sensors that can be adapted to specific requirements. With state-of-the-art IO-Link technology, they ensure fast initial startup, intuitive configuration and comprehensive process monitoring – from vacuum control to cooling water monitoring. Their robust design also ensures reliable measurements, even in the most challenging conditions.
Simplified Operation
wenglor’s free wTeach2 software guarantees simple setup of fluid sensors with IO-Link. The setting of the switching points is intuitive via clear diagrams, which enable user-friendly adjustment with just one click.
Faster Initial Start-Up
The settings of the sensors are stored in the control system and are automatically transferred from there to other sensors – set up once, duplicate as often as required.
Process Optimization
Fluid sensors with IO-Link generate and transmit additional diagnostics and status data for condition monitoring. These data can be analyzed by wTeach2 software in order to make information available for requirements-oriented maintenance, and to avoid downtime.
Plug & Play with Data Storage
When the sensor is changed, the saved settings are automatically transferred to the new device, so no reprogramming is required.
Powerful Solutions in the Field of Fluid Sensors
weFlux² and LevelTech sensors offer a robust and durable solution: They are shock- and vibration-resistant, maintenance-free, wear-free and pressure-resistant. The laser-welded stainless steel 316L housing with various process connections, including hygienic design and degrees of protection up to IP68/IP69K, ensures reliable operation – even with aggressive chemicals and cleaning agents as well as in and outside hygienic areas. The combination of these features provides a cost-effective solution that reduces operating effort and increases sensor longevity.
Key Benefits at a Glance
The world of fluid sensor technology is extremely diverse and complex. With a variety of sensor types, features and designs, choosing the right component for a specific application can be difficult. Our modular weFlux² and LevelTech family provide clear guidance here. It simplifies the selection of the right sensors for a wide range of requirements in areas such as food, beverage and pharmaceutical production, and ensures efficient and reliable process monitoring.
Process Monitoring for Maximum Transparency
Continuous monitoring and analysis of production processes are required in order to assure consistent top product quality. Fluid sensors acquire all relevant process values in real-time and detect even the smallest deviations, so that you can respond quickly to changing conditions. Thanks to the transparency of the processes, valuable information can be used to optimize processes and conserve resources. This results in increased efficiency and productivity, and secures a competitive advantage.

Smart Communication with IO-Link
Simple Networking, Efficient Control
Fluid sensors use the IO-Link communication standard to ensure seamless integration into digital processes. The sensors communicate reliably with all common control systems via the manufacturer-independent interface and can thus be easily integrated into existing networks. IO-Link enables fast and precise data transfer, enabling efficient process monitoring and remote configuration of the sensors. This increases production flexibility and efficiency and supports the implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions.
