IPF ELECTRONIC GMBH

ipf cable sockets are used primarily for establishing the electrical connection of sensors. Their features are characterized by rugged design, the highest protection classes (IP67 \ IP68 \ IP69K) and, if desired, with 360° shielding. With the features: bus-ready, suitable for use with drag chains and robots, resistance to oil and chemicals, resistance to welding sparks, their resistance to cleaning agents or high-pressure and steam-jet cleaning, the expanded temperature range of up to +230°C, the rapid interconnection technology and special data transmission properties, the cable sockets meet all requirements in automation technology.

The function of the flow sensor is based on the calorimetric principle. The probe is heated up from the inside a few degrees Celsius in relation to the flow medium, in which it protrudes. When the medium flows, the heat generated in the probe is dissipated through the medium. The temperature within the sensor is measured and compared with the likewise measured medium temperature. From the obtained temperature difference the flow state of each medium can be derived. These sensors are applied in areas such as monitoring of cooling systems, ventilation systems, pump dry running by checking the presence of liquid or gas flows.

For many tasks in the field of automation technology, it is necessary to recognize the motional processes in pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders and to detect the position of the piston with precision. For this, magnetic cylinder sensors are used.

Special design of through-beam sensor. Transmitter and receiver are located in the fork or angular limbs and are perfectly aligned to each other.

Inductive proximity switches are contact-free sensors. They detect all conductive metals, regardless of whether they move or not. The achievable sensing range of the devices depends on the object material and its dimensions. The vibration-resistant sensors can be approached laterally or frontally. Inductive proximity switches are used for presence detection (e.g. goods carriers), positioning (e.g. dampers), counting (e.g. nuts /bolts), speed detection (e.g. for cog wheels), on conveyor systems (e.g. hose feedings) or distance measurements (e.g. press-in checking) of metallic objects.
