Position detection on valve islands
Requirement
Valve manifolds offer a number of filling and emptying routes without having to open pipes or manually recoupling panels. Since there are frequent cleaning processes with temperature shocks and aggressive cleaning agents in these areas, the requirements on the sensors used are therefore high.
Implementation
The new full-metal inductive sensors of the ifm T-series provide an optimum solution for the application with their full-metal housing made of high-grade stainless steel (316S12).
Customer benefits
Due to their housing concept and their high protection IP 69K the robust sensors ensure an extremely long life and thus reliable operation of the plant. The sensors for use up to 100 °C undergo frequent cleaning operations, temperature shocks and feature high resistance to cleaning agents. Both the threaded body and the sensing face of the housing are made of stainless steel.
