Product
Analytical Sensors
-
Conductivity sensors are pre-destined for use in the food industry. They detect the conductivity and concentration of different media and can differentiate between e.g. cleaning agents, rinsing water, and the food product. This means that it is not only possible to constantly track the product but also to reduce the waste of product and rinsing water – all possible without making adjustments to the sensor.

Product
Systems for Oil Quality Monitoring
-
*Reliable monitoring of oil contamination*Reliable machine and plant protection by permanent oil moisture monitoring
-
Product
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.

Product
Fieldbus Components
-
The range of fieldbus components offered by ifm includes gateways, IO-Link masters, RFID evaluation units and encoders. Gateways establish the connection between AS-i and common fieldbus systems such as EtherNet/IP, Profibus, Profinet or EtherCAT. They control the data exchange to the sensor/actuator level and communicate rapidly with the superior control level. Variants with PLC functionality or fail-safe PLC are available.

Optical Identification
-
Application areas of the 1D/2D code reader range from product tracking and product control to product identification.The sensor can read 1D and 2D codes regardless of their position. Even if up to 25% of the code information becomes damaged or soiled, it is still read correctly. The reader can also be used for optical character recognition (OCR), e.g. in order to identify products based on type labels or serial numbers.
