Sensors for Automation
|
|
Our sensors can be found in almost every application in automation technology.
They are used in piloting, controlling, positioning and checking processes. Thanks
to their robust design, excellent sensory characteristics and easy use, the sensors
offer high availability and top performance data.
In order to provide solutions to the multitude of industrial tasks, Using a wide
variation of physical principles in our sensors. The application determines
whether light or an electric field or sound waves are used as the measuring medium
– each principle has its strengths.
Our concept: Speed combined with innovation, quality and customer awareness.

The product series with the advantages of the almost standardised cubic housing,
the sensor head can be rotated axially on the fixing flange, by 360° in 8 steps.
The connector plug can also be rotated by 90°. This combination makes it
possible to set the light emission on 5 of the 6 possible sides of the cube. 4
further intermediary settings are possible. A special highlight is the version
which detects glass.

Distance Measurement
|
|
We cover the complete measuring range from several millimetres to very large distances
(metres) thanks to a wide range of sensors. Different technical solutions
enable utmost measuring accuracy from the mm-range up to 250 m.
|
|
|
|
Colour, Contrast or Mark Detection
|
|
Whilst conventional colour sensors need three superimposed primary colours for detection
purposes, our FT50 C and FT20 WT sensors operate with white light and offer the
right solution for every application. The FT50 C is available with 3 signal
outputs or just one signal output with control cables and a bus compatible RS 485
interface. The FL 64-1-C colour sensor is a DIN rail sensor with a fibre optic
connection. Clicked onto a DIN rail and the fibre optic head with a diameter
of 6 mm can detect colour reliably, even in cramped conditions. For contrast
detection, we have the sensors FT 82, FT 20 RL and FT 20 WT.

Cylindrical Sensors
|
|
With an external diameter from 4 to 30 mm and the most varied functions, our cylindrical
sensors meet user requirements above all in those cases where cubic and rectangular
shapes prove to be unsuitable. All principles of function and types of light
are available.

Vision Sensors & Systems
|
Whether the task involves position monitoring, reading barcodes and data matrix
codes or accurately detecting colour: the FA45 vision sensor is the solution for
a wide range of applications which were previously impossible without complex and
expensive image processing systems. Foolproof, reliable and economic, the
FA45 is a pre-configured vision sensor adapted to the respective application, which
does not require time-consuming training.
For more demanding applications, we offer our EYESIGHT® image processing solution.
Based on the same hardware platform, EYESIGHT offers all the advantages of
the FA45 vision sensor and a full range of lenses, lighting and connectivity. The
intuitive development environment includes every necessary function and assists
you in the programming of demanding solutions.

Sensors for fibre-optics
|
Systems using fibre-optics are given preference in applications with limited installation
space. Combined with the right fibre-optic, our sensors provide the perfect
solution even in harsh environments and high ambient temperatures. The FL
70 R-D is our high-end sensor for fibre-optics with a 4 digit display. It
is characterised by simple settings and many additional functions plus the display
is always clearly visible thanks to a 180° rotatable screen. The FL 70 R sensor
is also available with an analogue output as FL 70 RA-D, or without a display for
simpler applications.
For particularly long switching distances or harsh environments, we recommend our
cylindrical sensors FMS 18 und FMS 30 for use with particularly robust glass fibre-optics.

Fork Sensors
|
|
The main feature of our fork sensors is their reliability with utmost accuracy.
Even very small objects are reliably detected and the high switching frequencies
enable the detection of moving objects. All versions have a plug connections
and use visible red light.
|
|
Metal versions:
Simple and robust design
Reversible N.O./N.C.
3-pin connection
Plastic fork sensors:
With NPN or PNP, 3- or 4-pin connections
Dynamic teach-in
Setting to moving objects is possible
Output signal LEDs visible from all sides
Numerous mounting possibilities(e.g. dovetail)
|
|
Optical Windows
|
|
A decisive feature for the reliable detection of small objects is the resolution
of the beam grid and its time response. The resolution of our optical windows
guarantees a reliable detection of parts as small as 0.8 mm. Deadlocks can
be avoided thanks to the dynamic signal evaluation and parts can be detected, e.g.
through transparent tubes. The adjustable length of the output signal (from
10 to 300 ms) enables a maximum degree of compatibility with your PLC.

Ultrasonic Sensors
|
|
All the ultrasonic sensors from the U12, U18 and U30 series are cylindrical sensors
with a robust metal housing and working ranges of up to 6m can be achieved. With
the miniature U20 series we achieve scanning ranges of up to 700 mm. All of
these sensors are very easy to programme via the teach facility.
|
|
|
|
Inductive Sensors
|
|
We offer a wide range of different inductive sensors. Besides standard sensors
you can find inductive sensors with 3 times the switching distance. This increased
switching distance enables considerably greater availability in harsh industrial
applications.
|
|
|
|
|
Capacitive Sensors
|
|
All capacitive sensors are fitted in a robust cylindrical housing. Flush and
non-flush versions means that the non-flush sensor head emits a spherical electric
field directly from the sides enabling considerably greater measuring distances
in small robust packaging.
