ideal for confined spaces such as filter installations, marine environments, and chemical dosing stations. The polypropylene construction ensures continuous resistance to corrosion, making it durable against salt and other aggressive substances.
WITHSTANDING THE RIGOURS OF INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS
ifm has unveiled its latest innovations, the AL2384 and AL2284 modules and the LDL400 Inductive Conductivity Sensor
fm’s AL2384 and AL2284 represent a leap in industrial automation, thanks to their efficiency, reliability, and ease of use. Designed for use with PT100/PT1000 thermocouples, they feature seamless integration of measuring probes with IO-Link technology, simplifying installation and reducing setup time. By minimising downtime and accelerating deployment, the AL2384 and AL2284 are said to set a new standard for operational efficiency.

One of the key strengths of the AL2384 and AL2284 is their compatibility with a range of industrial machines. This ensures that existing systems can be upgraded without extensive modifications. The intuitive user interface and straightforward installation process mean that even individuals with limited technical expertise can implement the system effectively. Consequently, businesses of all
ICK has expanded its multiScan and picoScan LiDAR ranges to make them even more powerful, compact and robust. With a variety of industry specific software applications that run on-device, the modular multiScan 100 3D product family and compact picoScan 150 LiDAR sensors are customisable to suit a wide range of applications, with bespoke parameters, operation and integration.

From robotic guidance and outdoor automation to SLAM, security detection and interactive art installations, SICK’s sensor range is enhanced with new products and capabilities, including improved light performance and accuracy.
The 2D and 3D LiDAR product range and families are based on a common user environment and programming development platform. Fast data streaming, 2D and 3D object detection with field
sizes can benefit from this technology. Reliability lies at the heart of the AL2384 and AL2284. The products are designed to withstand the rigours of industrial environments while consistently delivering accurate readings and performance. This durability translates into long-term cost savings and enhanced productivity. ifm has also introduced the LDL400 Inductive Conductivity Sensor. Manufactured from durable, polypropylene, this sensor excels where metallic sensors falter due to chemical corrosion. Boasting superior chemical corrosion resistance, it measures conductivity over a wide range of 100 to 2 millionµS/cm. The LDL400 is specifically designed for applications that demand continuous, temperature-compensated measurements between -25 and 50°C and can withstand pressures up to 10 bar. Its compact design is

evaluation enhance the quality, security and usability of both the multiScan and picoScan. This enables companies to develop dynamic sensing profiles and scale their LiDAR capabilities, leveraging the data generated and customising sensors to their specific applications and requirements. The picoScan and multiScan devices have a ruggedised design, with an anticorrosive coating, venting element and vibration resistance, making them resistant to shock, vibration and interference. Suitable for use in rough ambient conditions (such as fog, rain and bright sunlight) and harsh
environments, both ranges have a selection of connectivity options and accessories designed for outdoor use.
The picoScan and multiScan products also have a contamination indication and the predictive maintenance system means sensors can notify the operator before the
Utilising an inductive measuring principle, the LDL400 accurately detects conductivity. This sensor can measure the NaCl concentration in pure and ultrapure water, making it suitable for various water treatment processes. It offers temperature- compensated outputs through both digital and analogue formats and connects via an M12 connector with IP68/IP69K ratings. Whether monitoring salt concentration in
fish farming or ensuring quality assurance in water treatment, the LDL400 provides precision and reliability, even in challenging conditions. Ideal for industries needing robust and reliable conductivity measurements, this sensor serves many diverse applications from water treatment and fish farming to ship automation. Its compact design and high resistance to harsh environments means it can be used to maintain optimal operations, ensure safety, and enhance efficiency.

system is influenced. Based on time of flight (ToF) technology, the multiScan range delivers high quality 3D with simultaneous multiple measurements individually configured for precise detection and localisation. The multiScan 3D LiDAR range’s combination of high-density horizontal layers and 3D point cloud offers measurement performance advantages in real conditions.
The next evolutionary step from the popular SICK TIM sensor, with higher data streaming speeds and more precise localisation, the picoScan 150 compact 2D LiDAR sensor is one of SICK’s highest angular LiDAR devices, with a rotary resolution of 0.05 degrees. The increased light suppression performance helps outdoor performance reach unprecedented levels. The multiScan family has a wide range of accessories, including mounting kits, connection boxes, gateways and reflectors.
