Thanks to the improved inline calibration process, the TCC achieves an accuracy of +0.2K across the entire measuring range. This makes it perfectly suited for use in temperature-sensitive processes such as food, rubber or carbon processing. The TCC ensures a smooth process and a high product quality by permanently monitoring its own reliability. If the […]
In assembly and handling applications, the profiler does not only verify the presence of an object, but it checks whether the correct component has been used and properly installed. A push of a button is all that is required to compare the contour of an object with the taught target contour stored in the profiler. […]
An electrical conductivity meter (EC meter) measures the electrical conductivity in a solution. It has multiple applications in research and engineering, with common usage in hydroponics, aquaculture, aquaponics, and freshwater systems to monitor the amount of nutrients, salts or impurities in the water. Conductivity measurement is […]
Small in size, ifm distance sensors with time-of-flight measurement based on PMD technology (PMD = Photonic Mixer Decide) are distinguished by a very long range, reliable background suppression, a visible red laser light spot and a high excess gain. The sensors are resistant to extraneous light and can be used in workshops where daylight hits […]
In automation technology, vision sensors are today an integral part of assembly and manufacturing tasks, as well as quality control and thus increase efficiency. They are cameras with application-specific evaluation, i.e. reliable electronic eyes at a low cost and a high degree of integration. A few years ago, high-price camera systems were needed. Due to […]
The sensing area is located inside the ring of inductive sensors. These sensors are designed to detect metallic masses entering or passing through the ring. They are ideal for sensing, counting and checking of small metal parts such as: screws, washers, nuts […]
A touch sensor is a type of equipment that captures and records physical touch or embrace on a device and/or object. It enables a device or object to detect touch, typically by a human user or operator. Capacitive touch sensors can be used, for example, as a start and stop button on machines, as […]
Automation technology can no longer be imagined without photoelectric sensors as “artificial eyes”. They are used where a reliable and non-contact detection of the exact position of objects is required. Compared to inductive sensors, photoelectric sensors have a much greater sensing zone, and the material of the object to be detected is of no importance. […]
Condition monitoring systems are used for condition-based maintenance of machines and installations. They help to detect machine damage in good time and prevent costly consequential damage. Measuring systems such as magnetic-inductive or ultrasonic flow meters detect the three process categories: Flow quantity Consumed quantity Medium temperature They are frequently used in cooling circuits, e.g. in […]
Maximum process reliability and constant product quality are vital in the food industry – whether in the manufacture of beverages, sweets, dairy or in meat processing. Even the slightest impurities cause great damage, such as product recall of entire production lots of expensive downtimes. Diffuse reflection sensors are used for the direct detection of objects. […]
