Sensor detects pump cavitation and stoppages
IFM Electronic's has developed a pump diagnostic pressure sensor that continuously monitors and detects cavitation, trapped air and blockages.
Housed in a rugged 42x42x43mm die-cast industrial housing, the dualis contour sensor is a compact and cost-effective 2D sensor ideal for a multitude of quality control tasks.
The device recognises up to 32 contours of the object or objects, allowing badly moulded parts, or parts presented the incorrectly, or missing parts to be detected immediately.
All the dualis needs to operate is a backlight, also available from ifm electronic, and with the wizard software is easy to set up in a few simple steps.
Available in three different sizes, the backlights are only 9.2mm thick, so mounting space is not a problem.
The whole system, sensor and backlight, can be supplied for visible red light or infrared to match the application, plus different object sizes can be checked, over distances up to 400mm.
ifm has put together a limited number of starter kits with everything you need to see for yourself ? sensor, backlight, trigger switch, unrestricted software, and even a power supply, all for a very attractive price.
The sensor and backlight are standard so they can be fitted on the line after testing.
ifm is committed to working closely with its customers to develop products which precisely match their needs, and the company provides expert, readily accessible technical support to help users maximise the benefits they gain from ifm products. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
