Ultrasonic frequencies are above the human audio range — higher than 20 kHz. Operating in this frequency range, ultrasonic sensors are commonly used for measuring proximity (distance), determining the level in storage tanks, detecting objects, and more. Ultrasonic sensors provide a non-contact sensing technique by measuring the time it takes for sound to travel to […]

Pepperl+Fuchs introduces Ultrasonic Sensors for safety applications
Pepperl+Fuchs is expanding its factory automation portfolio with the all-new USi-safety ultrasonic sensor. Suitable for use in harsh environments and even for outdoor applications, this small but mighty sensor requires only a small amount of installation space. With safety certification in accordance with EN ISO 13849 category 3 PL d and as the only sensor […]
The next level of ultrasonic technology from Pepperl+Fuchs
Ultrasonic sensors have rapidly gained popularity in recent years—what was once a niche product has now become a key technology that can be found almost everywhere in the automation sector. As the market leader in this sector, Pepperl+Fuchs will be dedicating a whole day of events at its second Online Summit to providing insight into the […]
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 […]
New reduction factor 1 sensors with IO-Link combine benefits of two technologies
Pepperl+Fuchs has extended its portfolio to include reduction factor 1 sensors with IO-Link, providing users with even more flexibility, additional features, and diagnostic options. Plant designers have long had to use different types of sensors or deal with time-consuming reconfiguration when tasked with detecting objects made of different types of metal. Standard inductive sensors can […]
Inductive safety sensor portfolio from Pepperl+Fuchs
The new family of safety sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs includes four cylindrical and rectangular series with cable and plug connection. The sensors are TÜV-certified in accordance with the Machinery Directive (EN 13849) Performance Level PLd, Category 2, and SIL 2. They are used to safeguard machines and plant components as well as for reliable position detection […]
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces light section sensors
Complex vision systems are often used for high-precision identification and analysis of object shape and position. These kinds of automation tasks can include quality control for finished components, positioning parts correctly on an assembly line, and aligning pieces before they are gripped by a robot. The vision systems used are notoriously difficult to set up […]
Optical sensors for longer operating distances
With the R200 and R201 designs, the product design of photoelectric sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs enables applications with longer operating distances. Just like the compact R100, R101, and R103 series, both new products consistently offer all photoelectric functional principles in a design that is now larger and suitable for specific mounting situations. Usability is intuitive and […]
Wireless Inductive System 2 for Wireless Sensor Connection New Generation with Greater Power and Longer Transmission Distances
The new WIS 2 (Wireless Inductive System 2) is the ideal way for Pepperl+Fuchs to round off its portfolio for the wireless connection of sensors to moving machine parts with a higher-performance system. Image 1: WIS 2: Primary/secondary component The WIS 2 is used both for signal transmission and for supplying power to the sensors connected […]
