Inductive proximity sensors made for metalworking
Proximity sensors from ifm electronic are designed to resist contact with metal components and have a long-lasting anti-spatter coating.
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.
The latest versions of the IND valve feedback sensors from ifm electronic have been released just in time for the ATEX implementation date of July this year, by which time all existing hazardous areas must have been re-assessed to ensure compliance.
Designed for 3G gas hazards, the newest version of ifm's feedback sensor, IN506A, is equivalent to two standard PNP sensors built into one housing, suitable for Zone 2.
The adavantage of this solution is a single housing which fits neatly to actuators and valves needing just one cable.
Valve feedback solutions come in many other forms and use either conventional wiring or AS-interface cabling reduction.
IND valve sensors for AS-i have a through connection for direct solenoid connection.
Rising stem valves also get the ifm treatment, with numerous sensors on offer for the different valves on the market.
ifm's experience and expertise in sensors for wet areas have been applied to innovative and reliable devices where mechanical switches are out of their depth.
ifm supplies one of the widest ranges of sensors for position and process control, complemented by a huge selection of connection possibilities, from simple connecting cable to complete AS-interface systems.
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 ...
