Cost saving compact level sensors
November 1st 2006 ifm electronic has developed a new level sensor, the LR, a compact level sensor with guided wave radar (gwr) technology for small tanks.
The gwr technology employed in the LR family makes it perfect for continuous level monitoring on plant applications such as coolant areas and part cleaning machines, where water-based solutions are found. The LR has up to four programmable switch points (including set and reset points) with hysteresis and window functions.
Unlike float switches and vibration forks, with the LR's resistance to foam and build up, there will be no need to worry about routine cleaning intervals and unforeseen standstills which, ifm points out, could be a real cost saving benefit. More articles from ifm electronic Limited: |
