Inductive Sensors

Inductive proximity sensors are the preferred choice for the majority of applications requiring accurate, non-contact detection of metallic objects in machinery or automation equipment. As a pioneer and market leader, Pepperl+Fuchs offers innovative, high quality inductive sensors to meet the needs of the worldwide automation and process control markets.

Thru-Beam Sensors
In through-beam photoelectric sensing, also known as opposed mode, the transmitter and emitter are in separate housings. Light emitted from the transmitter is aimed directly at the receiver. When an object breaks the beam of light between the emitter and receiver, the receiver’s output changes state.

Intrinsic Safety Barriers

Intrinsic safety barriers from Pepperl+Fuchs limit the energy that is supplied to a circuit and protect hazardous areas from excess energy. By limiting energy to a safe level, intrinsically safe circuits prevent the ignition of potentially explosive atmospheres. This simplifies maintenance and repair of Ex i circuits.
Industrial Vision
Industrial vision is one of the key sensor technologies of the future. The sensors and systems available from Pepperl+Fuchs range from vision sensors to system solutions that are customized according to the needs of your specific application. From the rack fine positioning of automated storage and retrieval systems to sheet verification in print post-processing, Pepperl+Fuchs offers vision sensors that are designed for your specific applications. Light section sensors based on unique SmartRunner technology enable rugged solutions for reliable presence, completeness, and position detection, even for low-contrast objects and in a wide range of lighting conditions.
Ultrasonic Sensors

In industrial applications, ultrasonic sensors are characterized by their reliability and outstanding versatility. Ultrasonic sensors can be used to solve even the most complex tasks involving object detection or level measurement with millimeter precision, because their measuring method works reliably under almost all conditions.

No other measuring method can be successfully put to use on such a wide scale and in so many different applications. The devices are extremely robust, making them suitable for even the toughest conditions. The sensor surface cleans itself through vibration, and that is not the only reason why the sensor is insensitive to dirt. The physical principle—the propagation of sound—works, with a few exceptions, in practically any environment.

Electrical Explosion Protection Equipment

Pepperl+Fuchs offers a broad portfolio of electrical equipment and solutions for installation and control of machinery and electrical networks in harsh environments and explosion-hazardous areas.

Various types of protection and enclosure variants along with a high level of flexibility allow the design of the most efficient control and distribution solutions for any application and industrial environment.

Purge+Pressurization Systems
Looking for a purge and pressurization system and not quite sure of your options? The purge quick configurator tool will guide you quickly and easily through the most important points.
Signal Conditioners

Signal conditioners protect signal transfer between field devices in safe areas and control systems by galvanic isolation of the loop.

Particularly in case of long transmission paths, signal conditioners avoid compensating currents which may occur from ground loops. Signal conditioners also offer effective protection against electromagnetic disturbance or dangerous over voltages on the signal loops.

Power Supplies

Pepperl+Fuchs has many years of experience in explosion protection and applications involving power supplies installed in hazardous areas. Our power supplies meet the most demanding requirements when high reliability is needed for powering signal circuits—which helps enhance system integrity. They support both digital fieldbus and analog networks.
