PAC50 PRESSURE SWITCH
Turns Pressure Into Color
Improve your monitoring of air pressure with the PAC50 electronic pressure switch. The bi-color large display allows you to identify from a distance if the pressure falls within the target range. This pressure switch has two digital switching outputs and an optional analog output in one device. The output signals can be easily adjusted to the available control system. With the optional IO-Link, the controller or PLC can quickly pass the device parameters to the sensor when replacing the sensor or when changing the format which reduces downtimes.
- Large displays for system pressure, switching points and output states.
- Three large function keys, intuitive menu navigation
- Measuring range for gauge pressure (vacuum and overpressure)
- Two independently programmable switching outputs, optional analog output
- Installation on mounting wall, rail, or switch panel
- Variant for leakage monitoring
- Waterproof housing with IP65/IP67 enclosure rating
- IO-Link
Measurement of pneumatic pressure of a food slicer
Monitor the machine systems pressure to increase the efficiency in food processing and in food cutting machines.
Robot Gripper Application
The pressure sensor can be use for determining and monitoring the suction pressure in a robot gripper.
Other Applications
- Measurement of pneumatic pressure on a meat slicer
- Monitoring of the pneumatic pressure
- Improved energy management in compressed air systems
- Pressure monitoring in the spraying unit
FTMG FLOW METER
Energy Consumption Flow Meter With Leakage Detection
FTMg, a sensor for compressed air displays three parameters at once by measuring the flow, pressure, and temperature.
- Transparent compressed air consumption measurement according to DIN EN 50001
- Complete overview of the flow, pressure and temperature of gases increases system reliability
- IO-Link or Ethernet interfaces (communication with OPC UA) for simple system integration and data availability
- Cost savings due to reduced energy consumption and increase in production efficiency
- Contrast-rich OLED large display saves time and money during commissioning
- The collect of flow, pressure, and temperature data in only one installation and commissioning process.
Applications
- Consumption and leakage monitoring in compressed air systems
- Monitoring of the energy consumption of compressed air in the supply network
- Measurement of inert gases in packaging with modified atmospheres in the food and beverage industry Flow measurement of non-corrosive gases such as Ar, He, CO2, N2
Compressed air is one of the most expensive sources of energy in a plant according to a survey by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Use this energy tip from the U.S. Department of Energy to determine the cost of compressed air in your facility.
