Inductive proximity sensors are used in many areas of factory automation & control. These highly reliable sensors detect metals by using a high-frequency electromagnetic field.
Select an inductive proximity sensor any time a process needs to be automated. We offer a wide range of products in a variety of styles, sensing ranges & capabilities:

• Cylindrical or rectangular (surface) mount
• Sensing ranges from 0.6mm to 100mm
• Cabled or terminal connections, quick disconnect or pigtail
• NAMUR, AC, DC & AC/ DC
• AS-Interface

Maximum sensing distance and durability. Extended range Pile Driver inductive sensors feature:

• 100% stainless steel, single piece housing (no welds)
• Sensing ranges up to 150% beyond industry standards - Proven durability
• Life expectancy over 20X longer than traditional proximity sensors
• Cylindrical 12mm, 18mm and 30mm diameter housings

Intrinsic safety barriers are a core component of an intrinsically safe solution. Intrinsic safety barriers are devices that limit current, voltage, & total energy delivered to a sensor or other instrument located in a hazardous area. Limiting the energy prevents fires & explosions from occurring in areas with hazardous chemicals, gases or other ignitable atmospheres.
Intrinsically safe equipment & wiring means the products are not capable of releasing sufficient energy in a circuit to ignite a flammable atmosphere in a hazardous area.
Choose from a broad variety of intrinsic safety barriers:

• Isolated DIN rail mount IS barriers
• Isolated circuit board (interface) mount barriers
• Zener diode intrinsic safety barriers

We manufacture intrinsic safety barriers & other components as part of a complete intrinsically safe system for your specific application needs.

K-System intrinsic safety barriers are a complete range of products designed for discrete or analog signals. Our K-System intrinsic safety barriers carry all major approval marks & are used worldwide.
These intrinsic safety barriers connect easily with our exclusive PowerRail system. By using PowerRail, a group of safety barriers is energized from an AC or DC source & monitored for group fault conditions. The PowerRail & IS barrier combination allows for simple expansion with no additional wires. You can also design multiple redundant power configurations.

WE-systems intrinsic safety barriers are classic intrinsic safety isolation barriers for digital signals. For new installations, refer to K-System Intrinsic Safety Barriers.

BARCODE SCANNERS AND IMAGERS
Pepperl+Fuchs manufactures a broad range of barcode readers for a variety of applications, from collection of inventory data using wireless handhelds to high-speed readers capable of capturing rapidly moving packaging in an industrial environment, we have the right barcode product for your application.
BARCODE IMAGERS
Our barcode imagers are capable of reading the ECC 200, Data Matrix symbology in addition to most popular 1D linear barcodes. ECC 200 is an efficient two-dimensional (2-D) matrix barcode symbology that holds extensive data in a small footprint. By utilizing powerful Reed-Solomon error correction algorithms, ECC 200 (Error Correction Code) allows error-free reading, even when a symbol has been partially lost or destroyed.
LASER BARCODE SCANNERS
Our laser barcode scanner product line ranges from compact scanners through products for greater distances, as well as other critical requirements, thus offering the right solution for any application. With our Windows-based configuration software, the devices can also easily be parameterized and read quality controlled during active operation. Our experienced project team will be happy to support and advise you.

As a worldwide supplier of industrial vision solutions, we can accommodate a wide variety of image processing requirements for OEM's and machine builders as well as for unique system solutions for in-plant engineering. We offer integrated vision sensor solutions that range from freely programmable general purpose devices to out-of-the-box products for rack positioning, print verification and other application-specific solutions.
For individual systems with demanding requirements, we provide customer-specific system solutions through our subsidiary, VMT GmbH. VMT enables Pepperl+Fuchs to offer the whole range of custom tailored industrial image processing solutions from vision sensor via smart camera to a complete system.

Pepperl+Fuchs Bebco EPS Purge & Pressurization systems offer a safe & economical approach to installing electrical equipment in hazardous locations. By creating a safe area inside an enclosure, general-purpose equipment can be used in hazardous (classified) areas.
With Bebco EPS Purging/ Pressurization components & accessories:

• General-purpose equipment can be installed in the protected enclosure and used safely in the hazardous area.
• Flammable gas collected inside the enclosure is removed & the accumulation of gases or ignitable dust within the pressurized enclosure is prevented.

One of the best benefits of purging / pressurization is use of the standard Type 4/12 enclosure as the protected enclosure. This saves money, weight & space over explosion proof methods.
Pepperl+Fuchs offers a full range of purge and pressurization systems to meet the needs of your application. The Pepperl+Fuchs Systems and Solutions group can also design custom enclosure solutions.
