Inductive sensors are highly valued, especially due to their sensing qualities for tough industrial applications. If robustness and higher temperature resistance alone are not enough, so-called atmospheric-change resistant sensors from ipf electronic can be real alternatives, as the experience of the IBS Paper Performance Group from Austria shows.
The company, headquartered in Teufenbach-Katsch (Styria), specializes in products, services and system solutions for optimizing cardboard boxes, pulp, tissue and paper machines. With 800 employees at 21 locations worldwide, 13 brands and more than 25 patents, the IBS Paper Performance Group is one of the technology leaders in the paper industry.
As a subsidiary of IBS, Maschinenfabrik Berger focuses on stainless steel construction within the Group. "Here at our site in Knittelfeld, with our high-end machinery and around 100 employees, we manufacture products such as the FabriCare ultra-high-pressure cleaners for paper machines," says Simon Taurer, Product Manager for high-pressure spray tubes and traversing cleaners for the IBS brand James Ross.
