ifm introduces the OCF fibre-optic sensor series, designed to improve small-part detection and predictive maintenance through IO-Link diagnostics and automatic operating modes.
The PG combines the excellent readability of a manometer display with the strengths of an electronic pressure sensor, resulting in a precise pressure sensor with comprehensive visualisation capabilities.
The flow sensor is the first of its kind from ifm to allow digital data transmission with a 3A-approved sanitary design, eliminating the last blind spot in the production process.
