Smart valve sensor from ifm electronic provides continuous feedback and essential diagnostics to help plant operators ensure optimum process performance.

ifm electronic’s new O3X 3D camera builds on the success of the industrial unit that was released over six years ago, growing alongside market requirements.

IO-Link gives users more and better quality data, so it’s useful to see what is going on when the devices either do not have a display of their own or are inaccessible.

Described by some as a game-changer, the novel O3D300 from ifm electronic is a sensor capable of measuring three dimensions at once.

When sensing metal parts on moving machinery the choice of sensor is usually limited to: ‘which inductive proximity switch should I choose?”  Understandably so, since inductive proximity switches have become well established over decades and perform a sterling job.

ifm electronic has introduced the DTE100 RFID evaluation unit with integrated Profibus-DP interface. Also featuring a web server, the new platform can be used in production environments to track tooling, for quality assurance procedures, in assembly/handling operations and in conveying for part tracking. The DTE100 is a compact device in a robust housing making it suitable for installation directly on a machine.

The O7 range of miniature photoelectric sensors from ifm electronic, currently available in PNP versions, is now offered with NPN equivalents. Measuring only 15 x 9 x 26mm, these sensors are now available with through-beam, retro-reflective and diffuse sesning options in both NPN and PNP versions. The sender/receiver version has a 1,500mm range, while the retro-reflective has a 1,000mm range. The diffuse units are all background-suppressed and offer ranges up to 30mm, 50mm and 100mm.
