Pepperl+Fuchs announces portfolio expansion
The new F199 from Pepperl+Fuchs is optimized for high-accuracy inclination measurement. Like other inclination sensors, the F199 provides measurement feedback of the angle tilt of machines or machine elements relative to gravitational force. But where standard sensors reach their limits because of inaccuracy, the F199 is the ideal solution. The F199 precisely measures angles from 0 to 360° with […]
New ultrasonic sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the new UCC*-50GK series ultrasonic sensor. Only two sensor versions are required for covering a range of applications. Intended for distance measurement, the UCC*-50GK uses ultrasonic pulses to measure the distance to the target and reports information through one of three sensor outputs. Versatile configuration options make the sensor incredibly adaptable. The UCC*-50GK […]
Micro-Epsilon confocalDT IFS2407-0.1 sensor for maximum precision
The new Micro-Epsilon confocalDT IFS2407-0.1 sensor opens up new fields of application in precision, confocal displacement and thickness measurements. Resolutions up to 3 nm enable this compact sensor to perform measurements at the highest accuracies. The sensor copes with large tilt angles while offering a small light spot size of 3 µm, which enables high […]
