Which products made it into the top 3 in the 'Sensors & measurement technology' category and were able to impress our readers? Here is an overview of the winners.

With the LBK radar system, Leuze is expanding its safety range with a safe 3D system for monitoring hazardous areas, even in environments with dirt, welding sparks, sawdust, smoke or moisture.
One of the 'magic formulas' in the Industrial Internet is 'continuous information flow'. However, the installed base of production cannot be 'converted' as easily as business software. Instead, the migration must integrate different components.

The 'OM20' and 'OM30' laser distance sensor families with IO-Link from Baumer can be used flexibly in many applications thanks to their measurement performance and compact design.

In order to meet demand on the Asian markets, Leuze is currently building a new plant in Melaka, Malaysia, with production scheduled for the first quarter of 2022.

Real, virtual and hybrid - this was the motto under which Sensor+Test was to take place in Nuremberg from May 4 to 6, 2021. It has now been decided to hold the trade fair entirely as a digital event instead.
As the successor to the UFA series, the ultrasonic sensors in Waycon's UFA2 series offer improved linearity (<0.4 % compared to <1 %) with the same measuring range of 20 to 200 mm.
