MVQ smart valve positioner precisely controls the degree of opening
By continuously monitoring and comparing the valve's exact position with a commanded position, the MVQ sensor can control the solenoid valves and energize the coils alternately to let air in and out, moving the process valve to the correct position.
MVQ smart valve sensor indicates early signs of valve failure
By continuously monitoring the valve's exact position, the MVQ sensor can immediately warn when the valve-closed position is drifting, avoiding critical process contaimination or unplanned stoppages.
Sensors for rising stem valves detect open / closed / seat lift positions
The IX sensors continuously monitor the position of single seat and double seat rising stem valves with stroke length up to 80  mm and with a resolution of 0.2 mm.
Mounting brackets provide position feedback for manual valves
Inductive proximity switches have long been used to detect valve position, but mounting was sometimes challenging. ifm created hardware that mounts on standard ISO top flange vlaves for each adaptation to our quarter turn valve sensors.
