Ultrasonic sensor from Elobau allows precise
measurement in adverse environments
With its 2U Industry ultrasonic sensor, Elobau offers a
reliable and convenient way to measure fill levels and
detect objects. Thanks to its high level of variability and
flexibility, the sensor is suitable for almost any kind of fill level
application. Regardless of the transparency, gloss, surface
characteristics and colour of the fluid or material, the 2U
Industry sensor delivers precise results, even in adverse industrial
environments. Setup is quick and easy. The sensor is a contactless
measuring device. The user can choose between an analogue current
signal or voltage signal. Furthermore, up to four freely programmable
switching outputs (high side / low side) are available. Primarily developed
for measuring the level of liquid media and solids such as granulates, the
ultrasonic sensor is also suitable for distance measurement to objects,
walls or the ground.

Longer tip conductivity sensor simplifies CIP

Particularly suited for use in CIP (cleaning-in-place)
applications in the food and beverage industries, the new
LDL201 conductivity sensors from IFM Electronic have a
77mm long sensing tip which makes them versatile and
easy to install in a variety of hygienic process connections.
In addition, the tip features solid PEEK construction which
virtually eliminates the risk of breakage even if the sensor is
subjected to high levels of stress. Since the sensors allow
improved process control to be achieved, they typically enable users to cut
costs by reducing energy usage during CIP cycles, along with the
consumption of water and cleaning agents.

Visual flow indicators now with flow meter sensor

Elesa has announced that its high-quality visual flow
indicators may now be specified as flow measurement
devices with the addition of an external PLC
compatible sensor and impellor mounted
activating clips. This quickly adapts these units
from passive indicators of flow – as protection
against blockages for example – into active
measurement equipment as part of the adjusting and
updating of hydraulic system performance. The new metering indicators
are available in ¾ inch and 1inch sizes to suit many applications in fluid
systems throughout industry where cooling or liquid transfer systems are
employed. This will include process or manufacturing plant, for example,
for water, oil, petrochemical and hygienic area systems.
