   Products            Sensors for process monitoring



The success of each monitoring system is largely dependant upon the quality of the measured signal and thus, on
the selected type of sensor and the chosen location. We design, manufacture and sell a wide variety of analogue and
binary sensors for various areas of industrial measuring tasks such as force, strain, pressure, tension, acoustic emission, electrical motor load, linear travel, rotary angle etc. A range of signal amplifiers is available to properly condition the
measured signals. All sensors are designed to work with our process monitoring systems.

Please find below a typical selection from our sensor program. Depending upon the application, we choose the optimum sensor solution based upon our years of experience and many thousands of installations. We would be pleased to assist
you in selecting the right sensor type for your job.



   DISC FLEX
  Piezo-electric sensor in a flat disc format used to measure force and/or acoustic
  emission signals on machine parts. The sensor is easily installed by glueing it to
  the surface of a machine part, or by cemeting it into a prepared pocket.
  The sensors are available in diameter from 5 - 25 and thickness from 0,5 - 1,0 mm.
  DISC FLEX sensors typically produce a very strong output signal


  SUPERFLEX
  Piezo-electric sensing probe to measure strain and forces inside machine parts.
  The sensor is installed into the industry-standard  8-mm bore which runs
  perpendicular to the direction of the force to be measured. The sensor can be fitted
  in a recessed way in deeper bores.
  A special SUPERFLEX-Tool is available to position and to tighten the sensor
  in the correct way.


  SUPERFLEX-S
  Piezo-electric sensing probe to measure strain and forces inside machine parts.
  The sensor is installed into a 8-mm bore which runs perpendicular to the direction
  of the force to be measured. The SUPERFLEX-S short sensor is especially designed
  for applications where forces must be measured close to the surface of the machine
  part. A protection cap is available to guard the sensor head and the cable exit from
  external damage.


  AXFLEX
  Axflex and Mini-Axflex sensors are piezo-electric sensing probes which measure force
  in axial direction. They typically are installed into bores that run in the direction of the
  forces to be measured.  A special brass nut is used to tighten the sensor inside its
  bore.


  SPECIAL SENSOR PARTS
  Piezo-electric or strain-gauge sensing elements can also be fitted directly into
  modified machine parts or tool components which take loads, forces or strains during
  the manufacturing process. 


  BRIDGEFLEX COMPACT
  Piezo-electric sensor for measuring force and/or acoustic emission signals on the
  surface of machine parts or tool components. This sensor is simply bolted on to the
  part by means of a M8 fastener. The BRIDGEFLEX sensor can be easily removed
  and re-used elsewhere.


  X-FLEX
  Bolt-on surface strain sensor based on strain-gauge sensing elements and an  
  integrated, high resolution amplifier. The X-Flex sensor e. g. can be simply fastened
  to the frame of a machine such as a press to measure actual press loads (tonnage
  sensor).

  The sensor can be calibrated to give true tonnage readings.


  POWERFLEX
  Sensor to measure the power consumption of an electrical motor.
  This sensor is used to detect overload situations, or to register the breakage
  of tools such as drills or taps.

  The sensor is simply wired into the power feed lines to the motor. 


  LOAD CELLS
  Load sensors used to measure absolute forces in applications such as press-fit
  assembling, rivetting, clinching, testing, etc.. The load cells typically are supplied with a
  calibration certificate.

  These sensors are available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes to suit the
  different needs in respect to mounting space restrictions and load ranges.
 


  Rotary angle decoder / linear travel transducer
  Sensors for accurate measurement of rotary angles (e. g. on machine crank shafts)  
  or linear travel of machine parts such as rams or slides.

  These sensors are used when precise monitoring of force vs.travel or
   force vs. crank angle is required. A wide range od sensor types is available to meet
   the different applications.
