Handling, Transport and Process Monitoring

The solution

In pneumatically operated grippers, pistons are frequently equipped with magnets for detecting the position of the gripper jaws. Therefore, you can easily monitor the gripping operations with our BMF magnetic cylinder sensors.

And this is how it works: Insert sensors in the mounting groove. Slide to set the desired switching point. Screw in place. Done.

The features

• Reliably monitoring gripping operations
• Easy installation of the sensors

The solution

You can detect end positions of portal loading systems with our BES inductive sensors. To do this, a metal switch lug just needs to be attached at the desired position. The sensors detect them without contact and transfer the correct switching signal to the controller.

The features

• Without contact and therefore without wear

The solution

Freely selectable target positions enable you to very flexibly use linear drives with integrated position measurement. If you want to increase their performance, our compact BML magnetic encoder is ideal. The position measurement encoder increases the efficiency: from the position drive to the position-controlled axis. Gratifyingly economical.

The features

• Increased flexibility via freely selectable target positions
• Really efficient

The solution

To detect the hydraulic fluid fill level, you just need magnetostrictive fill level sensors with floats. Because they are completely encapsulated, they are especially rugged. For the precise sensors, analog sensors and IO-Link are options as interfaces.

The features

• Very rugged, because they are completely encapsulated
• Designed for high measuring rates, very precise
• Analog signals (0…10 V or 4…20 mA) or IO-Link

The solution

Depending on the version, ultrasonic level sensors can be used for switching-signal-assisted two-point controllers or for permanent fill level control. In this way, you benefit from maximum flexibility in the choice of the monitoring type.

The features

• Switching-signal-assisted two-point controllers or permanent fill level control (depending on the sensor version)
• Maximum flexibility in selection of the monitoring type

The solution

There is hardly a more elegant way to detect leaks than with the installation of capacitive sensors on a spacer that is attached, for example, to the bottom of the collecting container. The sensors record even the slightest fluid losses with absolute reliability.

The features

• Detecting even minimal fluid losses with absolute reliability
