Who isn't familiar with the small but generally spiky, sharp and voluminous remnants of milling or drilling tools, which perform their day-to-day work with gentle force. The waste, also known as chippings, that inevitably accures when a new product is shaped from raw iron, is frequently called "pretty but sharp" at collection centers, and this is for good reason. But the grayish-blue shimmering remnants are not only a nuisance for unprotected hands. Due to their perfected flight characteristics, they make detection within a milling machine quite difficult. And finally, the drilling water ensures that the little devils end up in every nook and cranny.

The VKSI0297 Ethernet adapter is an extremely practical solution with which a range of sensors from ipf electronic can easily be integrated into industrial communication. The adapter is therefore ideal for the needs-based upgrading of devices already in use.

There has been an addition to the camera sensors OC53 from ipf electronic. The successful series is now being complemented by solutions with a number of interesting technical innovations.

Fewer device versions but more flexibility. This sums up the key attribute of the new multifunctional light section sensors from ipf electronic. Special feature: The contactless laser sensors are extraordinarily versatile with regard to their potential applications and are, thus, extremely flexible.

At the Hanover Fair, ipf electronic will be showcasing the PT64 – a new series of diffuse reflection laser triangulation sensors (laser class 2) that have a number of special features with regard to both the device design and the high degree of application flexibility.
