Benefits

The DoorScan® active infrared scanner monitors the areas in front of and behind door leaves to protect people and objects from colliding with the door. With SIL 2/PL d certification, the sensor meets the highest safety requirements. It performs reliably even with different wall and floor coverings.

Sensors with integrated radar technology detect people and objects at automatic doors worldwide. The ECHO radar motion sensors are available in two variants: While the ECHO-M solves basic applications, the ECHO-D offers all standard functions—with remote control for added convenience. The compact RMS-D-RC opening impulse sensor allows fine-tuning of the functionalities in several stages.

The TopScan-S moving presence sensor, which operates with an active infrared method, is used on automatic swing doors. The integrated background evaluation ensures reliable operation even in difficult floor conditions.

Automatic sliding doors must be able to handle a high volume of people. The MotionScan, a combined sensor with a radar detection field of 4 x 4 m, detects approaching people at an early stage so that the door can be opened in time. An integrated active infrared scanner provides additional protection against collisions with the door.

From the detection and counting of persons to the identification of luggage—with the BB10 thru-beam sensor and the plug-and-play Y-splitter, a wide range of complex detection tasks can be performed with comparatively little effort.

The AL2109 light grid is suitable for full protection of elevator doors. With its dense monitoring field consisting of up to 135 beams, it ensures the detection of small objects. The light grid is mirror and ambient light resistant and enables object detection up to a distance of zero millimeters.

The BB10 miniature thru-beam sensor is ideal for door security and access control in confined spaces. The 91 series retroreflective sensors are often used for single-beam closing edge protection. Their narrow housing makes them ideal for installation in small spaces.

Photoelectric slot sensors or inductive sensors support precise positioning of the elevator cab or reliable end position monitoring of the cab door. For these applications, the SJ15 and SJ30 series sensors use an inductive electrical field integrated in the form of a slot-shaped housing design.

To ensure that there is no difference in height between the elevator cab and the anteroom, the position of the cab in the elevator shaft must be measured precisely. The R1000 distance sensor can be used to determine not only the cab position, but also the position at the individual stops of the cab.

The safePXV positioning system guarantees maximum safety when positioning the cab in the elevator shaft: The unique combination of 2-D camera and Data Matrix code tape enables safe absolute positioning in accordance with SIL 3/PL e—with just one sensor.

The extensive rotary encoder portfolio from Pepperl+Fuchs can be used to solve numerous applications related to elevator operation: from determining the position of elevator cabs and doors to controlling the speed limiter and monitoring the rotational speed of the elevator drive.

To prevent barriers from closing automatically while a vehicle is underneath, it is necessary to measure the distance to the target object with pinpoint accuracy. Using Pulse Ranging Technology, the R300 distance sensors reliably detect motor vehicles, motorcycles and bicycles.

When it comes to implementing standard applications on barrier systems cost-effectively and reliably, the thru-beam and retroreflective sensors of the 29 and 31 series are used. Due to their robust and waterproof housing, they are ideal for automation tasks in outdoor and border areas.

Active infrared scanners such as the TopScan-S are used wherever reliable presence monitoring of people and objects is required at automatic doors, interlocks, and turnstiles. Here, the modular sensor ensures secure entrances and exits.

Weather-resistant photoelectric sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are used to safeguard company premises. The LA29/LK29 thru-beam sensors can be used, for example, as invisible fences or climbing protection to prevent access to roof areas.

Due to environmental conditions such as rain and snow, particularly robust sensor technology is required for the protection of gates and doors in outdoor monitoring. The RAVE radar sensor and the DoorScan active infrared scanner are specifically tailored to these requirements.

When large areas need to be monitored to protect entrances and exits, facades and roofs, the R2000 2-D laser scanner is the ideal solution: with a seamless 360° all-round view, a long range and a small light spot, it guarantees highly precise measurement results.

Surface monitoring is particularly demanding for irregular surfaces. Here, the R2100 multiray LED scanner delivers outstanding performance: its 2-D surface measurement provides reliable and stable measurement results, regardless of the environment.

Pepperl+Fuchs offers bulk raw cable of industrial quality from German and European cable production, which is ideally suited for use with field-assembled connectors. The different raw cable variants are available in practical 100-meter rings as well as in small running lengths.

The connectivity portfolio ranges from sensor cables to field connectors, junction blocks, sensor-actuator splitters, sensor-actuator receptacles, and data connectors. By providing you with sensors and the corresponding connection components from a single source, we boost your productivity and increase the availability of your machines and plants.
