Efficient double sheet detection
The smart inductive 'Full Inox' sensors from Contrinex inspect steel, aluminum and stainless steel sheets (other alloys on request) before they are fed into a forming press.

With the 'IVA0012T', ipf has a connection cable with an integrated switching amplifier in the M12 connector in its range. The solution was specially developed for inductive sensors that can be used in an extended temperature range.

Contrinex has developed Ybes Extended Slim Type 4 safety light curtains especially for use in mechanical presses.

Leuze is extending the range of the '3C' series distance sensors with the 'ODT3CL1-2M' laser diffuse sensor.
The 'Microdisplays & Sensors' business unit of the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP will be integrated into the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS with retroactive effect from January 1, 2024.

Two new stainless steel series in miniature housings - series '53C' and '55C' - from Leuze are suitable for detection tasks in production and packaging processes.

At the Leuze stand, visitors can find out about solutions for the sensor manufacturer's focus industries - including intralogistics. The topic of safety is also a major focus here.

At Baumer this year, trade fair visitors were able to try out smart sensor solutions in an uncomplicated way: A sensor workshop in a special area next to the main stand made this possible. Oliver Schleicher, Managing Director of Baumer Germany, reveals the details.

The BGL MiniSlot fork light barriers from Balluff can be used flexibly thanks to different installation shapes and connection options. Thanks to clearly visible light beam markings, they are easy to position and adjust, according to the supplier.
Leuze is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Dr. Henning Grönzin, CTO and Technical Managing Director of the Group, provides an insight.
Balluff can double its production volume at the Chengdu site. The basis for this is a new 6,000 m² building, which will increase the production area by 75% in order to serve the APAC market.
