Metrology & quality assurance

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.

PS Industrial Power Supplies
The PS1000 and PS3500 power supplies serve as ideal solutions for supplying devices inside control cabinets in industrial environments and hazardous areas.

K-System Power Supplies
Our K-system din rail power supplies convert a 120 V AC or 240 V AC input to 24 V DC, and can be used in combination with power feed modules.

Fieldbus Power Supplies
FieldConnex® is the right infrastructure system to connect fieldbus devices. Efficient by design, our reliable Fieldbus Power Supplies provide ease of use and durability. Power Hub is a motherboard-based power supply system for one to four FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 or PROFIBUS PA segments.

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 millimetre precision, because their measuring method works reliably under almost all conditions.

Diffuse and Retroreflective Mode Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors are most commonly used in the diffuse mode. A single ultrasonic transducer is used as both emitter and receiver and is typically contained in the same housing as the evaluation electronics.

Thru-Beam Sensors
Ultrasonic thru-beam sensors feature an extremely powerful acoustic beam. They offer a large detection range within compact housing dimensions.

Double Sheet Sensors
Double sheet sensors are ultrasonic thru-beam sensors that have been optimized specifically for sheet feed applications, including double sheet detection, label counting, and splice detection.

Accessories
Compatible accessories offer enormous potential for cost savings. Not only do you save a great deal of time and effort when installing the sensors, but also when servicing them.

Whether leveling cranes, monitoring front-loader tilt, or controlling elevators—there are many applications for Pepperl+Fuchs’ inclination and acceleration sensors. They ensure precise measurements, even in harsh conditions. An innovative, two-piece mounting concept makes the F99 series extremely robust: a rugged metal mounting bracket provides the sensor module with impact protection and enables quick and easy replacement of the sensor module if needed.

The vibration sensors by Pepperl+Fuchs feature a particularly large measuring range capable of measuring vibrations of up to 128 mm/second. Equipped with a rugged compact housing and encapsulated electronics, they offer maintenance-free operation and a long service life. The sensors come with analog or with IO-Link interfaces - and with global approvals for hazardous areas up to Zone 1/21 and Div. 2 as well as functional safety certification up to SIL 2/PL d. The vibration sensors are available in three designs with different functional ranges.

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.

The specialists at VMT Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH, a Pepperl+Fuchs Group company, work with customers to develop the requirements profile and implement highly complex, innovative image processing and laser sensor systems, and complete solutions for sensor-based robot guidance and path correction.

Pepperl+Fuchs is your specialist for identification systems. Identification systems from Pepperl+Fuchs enable more cost-effective information capture in production and logistics, as well as enhanced information quality. You will always be up to date on complete inventories, and will benefit from comprehensive tracking and tracing features.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
Products from Pepperl+Fuchs allow you to use inductive RFID-systems with 125 kHz (LF) and 13.56 MHz (HF) in the near range. RFID radio systems are available with 865 MHz to 926 MHz (UHF) for larger ranges. These systems feature a broad spectrum of ranges, data transfer rates, and designs, enabling you to implement your requirements as necessary.

Optical Identification
Object information is stored as a barcode or a two-dimensional Data Matrix code and is read via laser or digital imaging technology. Barcode and Data Matrix systems are a cost-effective alternative to RFID technology. Pepperl+Fuchs offers a wide range of 1-D and 2-D code readers. The OIT high-temperature IDENT system from Pepperl+Fuchs is a unique product: This system is designed for applications such as drying systems and painting lines. The OIT high-temperature IDENT system uses metal code plates with a hole pattern that are evaluated using industrial imaging technology.
