Inductive sensors
Full-metal inductive sensors for the food industry with increased sensing range and protection IP 68 / IP 69K.
Always the best choice: Full-metal sensors and connectors a perfectly adapted system for the highest demands.
Capacitive sensors
Easy fit drop from the top into a slot: The ifm cylinder sensors are quick to install and can be securely fixed.
Photoelectric sensors
Safety light grids and curtains according to type 2 / SIL 2 / PL d or type 4 / SIL 3 / PL e.
Easy, quick and precise from all angles: Robust optical fork and angle sensors with a high switching frequency.
Always the right turn: From the compact incremental encoder to the robust CANopen multiturn encoder.
High-speed reaction: Ring sensors detect even the tiniest metal parts during their fall.*
To play it safe: ifm fail-safe inductive sensors do not require a coded counter part. They correspond to SIL 2 / 3 and PL d / e.
Tool-free installation: Installation is done manually. The mechanical end stop protects the O-ring from excessive compression.
Versatile connection: ecolink M12 or M8 connectors shock and vibration resistant, ingress resistant up to IP 67, IP 68 and IP 69K.
Connection technology
Exact position monitoring: Reliable even in cases of high travel speeds and short travel distances.
Smart monitoring: Complete sets for quarter-turn and rising stem valves with adapters and actuators simplify installation.
Valve sensors
No contact with the medium: Photoelectric level detection using the time of flight measurement: ideal for bulk materials and non-transparent liquids.
Irrespective of orientation and position: Independent efector dualis 2D vision sensors detect and evaluate any geometry.
3D at a glance: Detection of objects and scenes in three dimensions. 3D vision sensor efector pmd3d in an industrially compatible housing.
Object recognition
Keeping track: Set and monitor vision sensors in the application by means of a panel PC.
Encoders
Level sensors
Flow sensors
Volumetric flow sensors efector mid without mechanical components for permanently precise measured values.
Two in one: The first fully electronic contact manometer combines the advantages of a pointer display and an electronic pressure sensor.
Master of pneumatics: Compact pressure sensor especially for applications in robotics and handling. Particularity: the 2-colour display.
Pressure sensors
Goodbye, operating instructions: The switch points for the TK temperature sensor can be easily set and mechanically locked using the setting ring.
Plugged in: The temperature plug converts the signals from different Pt100 / Pt1000 probes into an analogue and IO-Link signal.
Connection technology
The appropriate sensor for each level: Capacitive probe sensors, microwave technology or hydrostatic level measurement.
Not only clean, but pure: The hygienic LMT level sensors largely suppress deposits and foam.
Efficient compressed air: efector metris detects even tiny leakages. Thus, compressed air consumption can be sustainably optimised.
One always fits: Thanks to the extensive product range of adapters and flanges, ifm fluid sensors are easy to integrate in the process.
Simply connected between the cable and the sensor: IO-Link memory plug for convenient storage of sensor data.
Communication with the sensor: point-to-point communication. Sensor parameter setting or digital process data transmission by means of IO-Link.
All set: Pressure, temperature and vibration sensors of the PK, TK and VK series with intuitive easy-turn operating concept.
Temperature sensors
Condition-based maintenance: Permanent machine monitoring with the vibration diagnostic system efector octavis.
Wear margin used to optimum effect: Vibration sensors detect bearing damage in time. Replacements can be planned, no machine fails.
Diagnostic systems
Well connected: Whether for hygienic, food or hazardous areas: ecolink ensures reliable connections in all applications.
Reliable reading: Multicode reading systems from ifm detect a number of codes. Sophisticated algorithms guarantee maximum reading reliability.
Lose no time: It takes only five steps to configure and set up the multicode reader.
RF identification systems
Mobile dialogue: Dialogue module PDM360 NG with high-resolution graphic display in a robust housing for field and cabin applications.
Supports the operators: Clear and easy-touse dialogue modules display all important machine states.
Protection against speed excess: Compact speed monitor an inductive sensor with integrated speed monitoring.
From the sensor to the gateway master: ifm electronic offers all components for your AS-i network.
Quick connection: Standard sensors can be connected to the bus using I/O modules. This keeps the wiring simple.
Everything at a glance: Colour display and web interface the AS-i Profinet gateway offers maximum clarity in the AS-i network.
Tracking workpiece carriers: 125 kHz RFID system for production control.Can be connected directly to AS-Interface.
Low-cost and compact: The modular mini controller system ecomatmobile Basic BasicController, BasicRelay and BasicDisplay.
Robust and powerful: ClassicController R360 for mobile applications with bidirectional inputs/outputs and CANopen interface.
Get connected: Decentralised CAN modules for outdoor applications for connecting sensors and actuators.
