Today, sensors of all types are common in automotive factories around the globe. Highly automated plants with demanding conformity requirements rely heavily on sensor technology to maintain world-class quality standards, particularly where harsh processes such as welding, metal finishing and high-temperature coating are required. Manufacturing engineers working for automotive manufacturers and for first- and second-tier suppliers expect robust, reliable sensors that deliver accurate, repeatable results with minimal downtime. Recommended product ranges: Inductive - Full Inox - Extreme Inductive...

Machine tools impose harsh operating conditions on the sensors needed to control cutting, forming and joining processes that run continuously in many metalworking factories. Common hazards include cutting fluid, cooling sprays, swarf particles and electromagnetic interference, making sensor selection particularly difficult where world-class performance is essential. Size is another key factor, as modern tool-holders allow only limited space for the sensors needed to identify and position individual tools during rapid tool-changing. The right sensors contribute to efficient production, without...

Machinery manufacturers supplying the textile, leather and clothing industries rely on sensors for efficiency, reliability and precision. World-class accuracy is essential for production of technical textiles and for making the carbon or chemical fibers used in modern, innovative products, often in highly automated factories. The high-speed machinery used by textile manufacturers must operate continuously and safely, relying on top-quality sensors for all aspects of access and control. The environmental challenges include industrial cleaning routines that test every sensor to the limit of its...

The Green Economy relies heavily on technology for its continued advancement, and sensors are a major component of any eco-friendly strategy. Environmental initiatives include wind-, wave- and solar-power generation, industrial and domestic recycling, energy management and development of alternative fuels. To deliver the green agenda, all of these sectors utilize sensors extensively for reliable detection and identification of materials, accurate measurement of operational parameters and consistent control of processes. Recommended product ranges: Inductive - Full Inox - Washdown Inductive -...
