stable measurement with an absolute repeatability of ± 1mm and a maximum non-linearity of ± 2mm. These rugged sensors in IP66/ IP68 stainless steel housings have a maximum cycle time of 500 ms and


Continuous level measurement with guided radar sensors G


uided radar sensors from Balluff are virtually predestined for maintenance-free level measurement of liquids and solids as well as for interface measurement. The guided radar pulses along the probe ensure precise and


independent of pressure or temperature fluctuations and unaffected by foam, vapor or dust. Buildup on the probe or container walls also has no effect on the measurement. With a measuring length of up to 75 meters, these sensors enable a wide range of applications, from small filling tanks to large storage tanks - anything is possible.


Consistent pressure with one turn


New stainless steel functional fitting for the Eisele INOXLINE T


he new robust stainless steel pressure regulator from Eisele is designed for applications in aggressive


environments and industries with stringent cleaning requirements. Compact and user-friendly - the functional fitting simplifies compressed air supply in industrial and artisan applications. A completely new design from Eisele is the pressure


regulator made of stainless steel 1.4301, first presented at Hannover Messe 2019. It can be used as pressure reducer for supply pressures from 2 to 10 bar, and controls the outlet pressure to the consistent required working pressure. The screw-in fitting from the Eisele INOXLINE has a control pressure range from 2 to 8 bar and is designed for very fine adjustment with low fluctuation. In addition, the flow- optimised pressure regulator reduces the vibration behaviour of the control system, and it is also designed for quiet operation. The choice of high-quality materials facilitates cleaning. The Eisele pressure regulator is mounted with 1/8- inch threads and can be used for water and air applications.

SICK Launches Hygienic Stainless-Steel Safety Light Curtain W


ith a hygienic stainless-steel housing exclusively developed to meet


stringent pharmaceutical industry requirements, the SICK TWINOX4 safety light curtain is resistant to aggressive cleaning and decontamination regimes. The TWINOX4 is a Type 4 device (IEC 61496- 1) with 14mm beam resolution and can be used in safety applications requiring PLe (EN ISO 13849) and SIL3 (EN 62061). The SICK TWINOX4 safety light curtain


protects operating personnel when interventions are required in the hazardous areas around machines that are subject to stringent hygiene requirements. It is ideal for use in Restricted Access Barrier System areas such as primary packing and filling stations. Rugged, resistant to harsh cleaning


media and designed without edges or gaps, the TWINOX’s elegant, 20 mm x 40 mm cross-section dimensions make it particularly suitable for integration in pharmaceutical machinery when space is limited.


“The SICK TWINOX4 offers pharmaceutical manufacturers the twin protection of hygienic design together with


technology-leading machinery safety,” explains Dr Martin Kidman, SICK’s UK machinery safety product manager. “The TWINOX therefore offers a more flexible solution to protect hazardous areas on pharmaceutical production


lines and clean room access points. Aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants, such as hydrogen peroxide, require media-resistant materials. The SICK TWINOX4 offers the robust reassurance of maximum production availability and operating longevity.” The SICK TWINOX4’s has an innovative bracket concept and LED status indicators for rapid mounting and easy


alignment, maximising machine and system availability. A pair consists of identical twin units incorporating both photoelectric emitters and receivers in a single array across the full length of the housing to maximise use of space, with optimum performance that virtually eliminates blind zones and reduce the need for multiple spares.

Hydrostatic level sensor for up to 20 m


E


GE has extended its DGC line of hydrostatic level meters, adding a new sensor for measuring liquid


media levels up to 20 m. The sensor consists of a measuring head with


integrated electronics and an IP68 probe attached to a cable. The cable is up to 20 m long to ensure the probe can be lowered to the bottom of large tanks.


The electronics unit is enclosed in a rugged stainless-


steel housing with a G¾ thread for attachment, for instance on the tank cover. A line of LEDs integrated in the measuring head indicates the level at a glance.


The sensor requires a 24 V DC supply. It can be used in


ambient or media temperatures from -20 °C to +75 °C. Measured values are transmitted via a 4...20 mA output.

Their measuring principle and mechanical design make these guided radar sensors the ideal choice for use in


harsh environments. Hygiene compatible versions for pharmaceutical and food applications are available. The ATEX certified sensors can also be used in explosion hazard areas as typically found in refineries and chemical processing.


Simple key presses are all that is required for setup and teach-in. A highly visible display alerts the user to the


status and ensure a correct and continuous overview. The measuring results are available on the output as an analog 4...20mA/HART signal.
