In machine and plant engineering we offer our customers a broad spectrum of sensors and sensor systems: Proximity sensors (based on inductive, capacitive and magnetic principles), photoelectric sensors, ultrasonic sensors, rotary encoders, position encoding systems, AS-Interfaces, identification systems, logic control units and electrical and mechanical system components.

For many years we have been a recognized supplier to the automotive industry. New concepts in plant engineering for vehicle production have been covered by products developed by Pepperl+Fuchs. In the areas of technology for the automotive industry, it would be hard to imagine the industry without Pepperl+Fuchs sensors. The global key account structure of Pepperl+Fuchs provides an ideal cooperation with the worldwide automotive industry.

Commercial transport vehicles make up a unique application range for sensors. Specialized attachments or auxiliary systems often create “rolling machines.” Excavators, cranes, fork lifts, agricultural machinery, waste, and fire-fighting vehicles create a multitude of applications for harsh-duty sensors.
This hard working mobile equipment requires sensors that can survive the most demanding environments. Scorching heat, freezing temperatures, rain, road salt, corrosive chemicals, radio frequency noise, and the highest levels of shock and vibration are an everyday occurrence.

Requirements from automobile manufacturing or ship building – such as any increased EMC specifications, e1- or GL-certification must also be considered. In many customer-specific developments over the last years, we have proven our capabilities in integrating these requirements into our products.

We offer a series of inductive sensors that are machined from solid stainless steel, giving them a heavily armored jacket that protects them from hazards like cutting fluid and metal shavings. Inductive sensors for analog position measuring and inclination sensors are also available.

Designed with the mobile equipment market in mind, Pepperl+Fuchs provides the toughest and most versatile sensors on the market.

Many applications in the renewable energy sector use Pepperl+Fuchs products. They play an important role in the reliable and efficient design of these systems. Wind energy system operators are concerned with productivity and demand minimum downtimes. Reliable rotary encoders (incremental and absolute) are designed to operate in demanding applications and meet all industry standards.

Pepperl+Fuchs encoders are found in wind energy systems and ensure optimum machine performance and energy output. Data exchange is no problem. Our encoders include the industry’s largest range of interfaces, including CANopen, SSI, AS-Interface, DeviceNet, Parallel interface, and PROFIBUS.

Modern solar power plants are able to operate efficiently with well-engineered control technology. They rely on the feedback of rotary encoders for precise positioning of their tracking systems. Pepperl+Fuchs’ rotary encoders recognize the direction of rotation and determine the optimal positioning angles in relation to the sun.

Realigning the solar panels with the sun maximizes the effectiveness of the energy conversion. The Pepperl+Fuchs rotary sensors recognize the direction of rotation and also determine the optimal positioning angles in relation to the sun.

Modern intra-logistics demand the application of outstanding sensors. Only the correct use of sensors can ensure the automatic and reliable flow of goods in modern warehouses and mechanical handling plants. Pepperl+Fuchs has the right solution for almost all material handling applications.

With Pepperl+Fuchs being a pioneer in precision sensors, which are used to control paper feeds in paper machinery, it would be difficult to find another manufacturer with such an extensive range of sensors for use in this area of industry. Whether printing, folding, punching or enveloping: the innovative sensors of Pepperl+Fuchs provide for ultimate precision in all applications. Especially Pepperl+Fuchs Visolux photoelectric sensors have been an established feature in printing machinery for more than 25 years.

Packaging machines for the food industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetic machines as well as labeling machines are a part of the target market of packaging industry. This market constantly demands new and innovative packaging solutions. This is only possible due to precision sensor systems in the corresponding packaging machinery.

Worldwide, Pepperl+Fuchs offers a unique range of inductive sensors with ATEX Ex-approval for applications in the chemical and petrochemical industries. This range encompasses the broadest variety of types on the market. Applications include valve position and limit switches for mechanical flow and pressure meters.

In addition to industrial automation, a large field of applications for sensor technology is in the automation of doors, gates and elevators. Monitoring elevator or lift doors using Light Grids to prevent trapping; Radar Sensor technology for opening sliding or revolving doors, and flat surface-mounted Photoelectric Sensors to provide protection against trapping in sliding or revolving doors. For the safety and convenience of these systems, reliable sensors are indispensable.

Many fossil fuel and nuclear power plants around the world are aging rapidly. Many of these power plants are planning retrofits or complete replacement of their control systems and physical boiler hardware.
The global need for reliable, affordable and environmentally responsible energy continues to grow, challenging the electric power generation industry. Keeping a power plant operational and on line is critical. Retrofitting or installing industrial automation systems is a small percent of the initial cost, but has a large impact on plant design, construction, startup, operations and maintenance.

In many power plant upgrades, the power generation industry is adopting digital data transfer via fieldbus. The fieldbus permits the remote parameterization and reading of maintenance information, which the field device reports automatically to the control system technology. The capital expenditures for these power plants are justified by low maintenance effort and longer, reliable, system operation.

Application Examples:

• Electric Utility Power Plants- Coal, Oil, Natural Gas
• Nuclear Power – Corrosion Monitoring
• Nuclear Power – Signal
• Conditioning + Isolation
• Steam Power – Water Cycle In Steam Boilers
• Wind Power - Lightning
• Protection For Wind Turbines
