Sonar Proximity Switches SIMATIC PXS

Sonar proximity switches can be used as non-contact proximity switches in many fields of automation. These devices can be used whenever distances through air have to be evaluated, because they not only detect objects, but can also out- put and evaluate the absolute distance between the Sonar proximity switch and the object. Changing environmental conditions (e.g. temperature variations) are compensated during evaluation of the measurement.

Photoelectric Proximity Switches SIMATIC PXO

The photoelectric proximity switches react to changes in the quantity of light received. The light beam emitted from the emitter diode is interrupted or reflected by the object to be detected. Depending on the type of proximity swich, the interruption or reflection of the light beam is evaluated.

Inductive Proximity Switches SIMATIC PXI

Inductive proximity switches are the low-cost solution for non-contact detection of metal objects. Inductive proximity switches are extremely reliable, heavy
duty and virtually indestructible. And thanks to wear-free operation as well as resistance to temperature, noise, light or water, they have a markedly long service life.
