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.
