Products & services
Switching sensors
Well switched: Stable and reliable detection of all objects and packaging. Using various operating principles and technologies, switching sensors detect objects reliably – at either the start or end point of the application. We offer a variety of sensors that detect an object optoelectronically, with ultrasonics, inductively or capacitively, and output a stable switching signal. We meet the diverse requirements from the production and packaging industry with a large number of different light spots, operating principles, designs and sizes. The usability when aligning and adjusting the switching point is simple and intuitive for all models. The sensors output standardized switching signals, NPN/PNP as well as IO-Link data, and can thus be integrated into all applications. Many series offer helpful additional functions to facilitate service intervals that are as long as possible.
Measuring sensors
Intelligent test and control through measuring sensors. Measuring sensors can actively check distances, calculate absolute distances for the positioning of axes in plant construction and monitor other parameters in order to intelligently and independently initiate actions and, e.g., intervene in processes for control purposes. We offer a large selection of different sensor technologies and designs that you can use to find solutions to measuring applications. Various powerful technologies facilitate optimum adaptation of our measuring sensors to a wide range of application requirements. Depending on the application, various communication interfaces are also available, such as IO-Link, bus interfaces or Ethernet-based interfaces.

Identification
Well captured: Automatic bar code identification for continuous traceability. In many areas of production and logistics, goods and materials are labeled with bar codes or 2D-codes. They are used for identification in the automation process and simultaneously ensure the traceability of the production and packaging process of every single product. We offer various technologies for reading these codes: Stationary laser scanners in line or raster scanner versions, bar code scanners for the deep-freeze sector with integrated heating, camera-based 2D code scanners and mobile hand-held scanners for bar codes, 2D codes and DPM codes.
Network and Connection Technology
Correctly connected: with our extensive range of connections for all areas of automation. Sensors are integrated in control and automation processes using connection technology. Depending on production conditions, the connection types have different advantages. We offer you an extensive range of connections, from the cable, to the connector and connection box to the IO-Link master for applications without primary control or hybrid solutions. The connectors and interconnection cables are available in various materials and versions for all requirements and applications in the area of automation. Our wide product range affords you maximum flexibility in the planning of your machine.
Optical data transmission
Contact-free transmission of information by means of infrared light. Optical data transmission enables transparent, contact-free and wear-free transmission of industrial Ethernet protocols through light emissions. This technology is used with stacker cranes, transfer cars, electroplating plants as well as gantry cranes. We offer optical data transceivers with various operating ranges and different Ethernet networks. The sensors are characterized by their easy alignment with integrated laser alignment aid, an integrated diagnosis function as well as a bar graph indicator, thereby allowing them to be quickly put into operation.
Industrial image processing
Image processing devices check quality, identify components and provide insights as well as data for production optimization. Vision sensors are used e.g. in the packaging industry and intralogistics as a solution for various image-based inspection tasks. They are compact image processing systems in sensor format which provide everything needed to solve inspection applications in a housing suitable for industrial environments. Vision sensors are ideal for compartment fine positioning, code reading, presence detection as well as measuring and counting. With industrial IP cameras, the visual monitoring of areas which are not accessible or difficult to access by plant operators is possible. Switching light section sensors are designed to perform scanning, two-dimensional object detection along a laser line. They are especially well suited for completeness monitoring or product monitoring in the case of multiple track transport.
Accessories
Smooth running: Full performance with the right accessories and perfectly matched components. Efficient work requires more than just a sensor. Almost as important are the appropriate accessories, which allow the sensor to utilize its full functionality. No matter if you need easy mounting, uncomplicated connection or reliable signaling, you can easily find the right accessories for your application in our extensive product range.
