New Festo SFAM Next Generation Range of Flow Sensors -

One flow sensor for everything.

 

The built-in pressure sensor and temperature measurement offer a wide range of options for process

monitoring and control. In addition, by eliminating the need for an additional pressure sensor the

installation effort and costs can be minimised. The ability to measure the gases Ar, N2,and C02 also

allows you to monitor inert gas applications.

New with IO-Link® communication

All measurement data can be transferred to the controller via the IO-Link® interface. The advantages

are minimal wiring effort, convenient remote parameterisation and a cost-effective, standardised

connecting cable.

Maximum flexibility for maximum cost efficiency

PNP or NPN? NO or NC? 0 … 10 V, 1 … 5 V or 4 … 20 mA? The SFAM can do everything in one device.

The electrical outputs can be switched using software. This also simplifies storage, reduces costs and

provides greater flexibility.

New | Festo Valve Terminal VTUX    

   Configurable 670 L/per min on 10mm valve slice

 

Festo VTUX compact valve terminal - Based on a modular system, configured for hi-flow rates of up to 650 litres per minute on each valve slice.  Fast delivery as a ready-to-install and fully tested configuration or for self-assembly from individual components.

Key features Control variants of the valve terminal VTUX The VTUX can be integrated in control systems in a variety of ways. There are a range of designs available for actuation via electrical multi-pin connection. Likewise, valve terminals can be connected via IO-Link® using round plugs with a high degree of protection or using terminal connections. The valve terminals are particularly versatile and high-performing thanks to the perfect integration into the Festo AP Automation Platform. In combination with the automation system CPXAP-A, valve terminals with various peripheral modules can be readily configured and assembled. Integration into the automation system CPX-AP-I offers numerous options, especially for decentralised solutions. It is thus possible to have particularly space-saving solutions close to the pneumatic drives, enabling rapid movements and short cycle times. Being able to combine the vale terminal with the automation system CPXAP-A as well as CPX-AP-I creates a unique solution for central and decentralised machine functions. This modularity makes the VTUX perfectly adaptable to any application.

Balluff Smart Level senorsBalluff Sensors > Balluff new innovative Smart-level capacitive sensors overcome problems standard capacitive sensors cannot.

 

 

For normal capacitive sensors exact level detection can be difficult when they need to detect viscous liquids or extremely foaming liquids that are also susceptible filming for example soup or beer, as wide container walls will need arduous set up procedures and  incorrect readings can be brought on by material accumulation within the container walls. Balluff have just released their new self adjusting SmartLevel capacitive sensors that will overcome these problems.
