Nothing is given to sensors

New white paper shows "unvarnished" reality

 

Sensors are often given the attribute "robust". What this can mean in concrete terms is demonstrated by the devices in tough everyday use, as they are repeatedly confronted with very different and harsh environmental conditions. Here are just a few examples of the challenges that sensors sometimes face in use: extremely high or low temperatures, dust, dirt, high pressures, high mechanical loads, vibrations, aggressive media such as acids, alkalis and chemicals, oils, moisture, wetness, limescale deposits, and, and, and...

Solutions from a completely different perspective

The new white paper from ipf electronic entitled "Sensors in harsh environments" shows sensor solutions from ipf electronic in a number of selected applications from a completely different perspective: not as clean solutions in "presentable" environments, but as the devices are actually found in a wide variety of industrial applications after some time of use. Various technologies will be on display, including solutions based on inductive, optical and capacitive sensors as well as cylinder sensors.

 

Robust design alone is not enough

As the white paper assigns numerous applications from a wide range of industries, ipf electronic has an extremely wide range of potential solutions for different areas of application with high demands on the availability and thus longevity of sensors. Devices are presented that have to work reliably even under the most difficult conditions, e.g. in foundries, wire drawing plants, beverage bottling plants or plastics processing, to name just a few examples. It is also clear that in many applications, it is not just the robust version of a particular device that is important in order to master special requirements and challenges, but in particular the optimum integration of the overall solution in a specific application.

 

ipf electronic also offers a wide range of sensors with special features, based on different technologies, which have been developed as special designs for very customer-specific requirements and are also presented in the white paper, as most of them are now available to all interested parties.

 

Valuable expert knowledge for high requirements

In view of the wealth of solutions that ipf electronic has now realized, sensor solutions for harsh environmental conditions are to a certain extent a special field in which our application specialists have gained a great deal of fundamental experience via decades of experience. Experience that forms the basis for comprehensive know-how that is also available as valuable expert knowledge for other applications with high demands on sensor technology.

 

Against this background, the white paper "Sensors in harsh environments" is certainly not only worth reading, but also well worth seeing, and is now available for free download from the ipf electronic website.
