ifms new thermal compressed air meter for compressed air in industrial use distinguishes itself as a real all-rounder. Not only does it have an integrated temperature sensor, but it also features a pressure sensor. This allows the user to read four process values at once […]
Adapters provide easy, fast and reliable installation of process sensors in tanks or piping systems. ifm offers a wide range of process connections for use in industrial or hygienic applications. Protective devices shield the electronics, housings and displays of pressure, flow and temperature sensors from dirt, overheating, shocks and impacts. Device-specific accessories enable quick set-up […]
Sensor reflectors are used with all retro- or auto-reflective sensors and are critical for the function of the sensor. Sensor reflectors are available in a range of formats to suit different applications and environmental conditions. Most commonly sensor reflectors are square, rectangular or circular with multi-faceted surfaces to capture and return the […]
In most automation systems, cylinder sensors are indispensable to control production. Precise position on cylinders by means of compact sensors in the fields of packaging technology, handling technology, factory automation and process engineering is very important to ensure smooth production. Their high […]
Infrared temperature sensors are widely used throughout many industries and work environments to determine surface temperature. Elevated temperatures are often the first sign of trouble for electrical equipment, circuits and building systems. A quick temperature check of key components and equipment can detect potential trouble areas and prevent catastrophic failures. All matter emits energy in […]
In almost all fields of processes and plant engineering, liquids or gases are used. For example, ventilation of installations and buildings and coolant and lubricant supplies for plants and power units. ifm’s product range comprises flow sensors with different measuring […]
ifm offers a wide range of electronic pressure sensors to meet the requirements of various applications. All units have robust housings and do not require moving parts such as pistons or springs. The result being – the sensors are extremely shock and vibration resistant and operate without any wear or maintenance. The sensors are resistant […]
In industrial processes where liquids, air or gases are used, process sensors serve to measure and detect pressure, temperature, flow and levels. Flow sensors monitor the coolant and lubricant supply of machines, power units and industrial furnaces, or ensure ventilation of installations and […]
As the name suggests, ultrasonic sensors measure distance by using ultrasonic waves. The sensor head emits an ultrasonic wave and receives the wave reflected back from the target. Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance to the target by measuring the time between the emission and reception. An optical sensor, for example, has a transmitter and receiver, […]
A photoelectric sensor is equipment used to discover the distance, absence or presence of an object by using a light transmitter and a photoelectric receiver. A photoelectric sensor emits a light beam (visible or infrared) and is received by the light receiving element which […]
