Hydraulic power units
Pressure switches are used to monitor the system pressure of hydraulic power units. Mechanical switches are cumbersome, difficult to install and require a reference gauge for local indication of pressure. What if you could configure a pressure switch in less than 5 minutes?
The PN family offers a large 2-color LED display, raised pushbuttons and easy-to-navigate menu for fast setup without the need to apply pressure.
Metal forming
Grippers are used to position metal blanks into a hydraulic press. The switch point of mechanical switches drifts over time due to wear and fatigue. This results in damage to the work piece and system. What if your pressure switch did not wear out?
The ceramic capacitive measuring technology of the PN family has no moving parts to break or stick as well as long-term stability and excellent repeatability. Learn more about ifm's metal processing solutions.
