Temperature Sensors
Our temperature sensors and process controllers offer quick setup and provide precise temperature management and control for a variety of applications.
Level Sensors
Our Level Sensors are heavy-duty industrial control devices. They open and close contacts in response to changes in liquid level. Level sensors are available in five different styles with both motor and pilot duty contact ratings.
Flow Switches
Our Bulletin 839E Flow Switches monitor and display liquid media flow rate from 0.03 to 3 m/sec (0.1 to 9.84 ft/sec). This sensor measures both flow and temperature and is available with two different probe insertion lengths.
Speed Sensing Switches
Our Bulletin 808 Speed Sensing Switches provide an electrical contact signal at a determined speed for plugging, anti-plugging, speed sensing, and direction of rotation.
Identification Devices
Our identification devices are ideal for tracking and documenting products as they move throughout the manufacturing process. Featuring our High Frequency (HF) RFID System and our Code Reader sensors, our identification devices are an effective solution for automotive, material handling, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries.
48CR Code Reader
Our Bulletin 48CR Code Readers are the smallest industrial code readers on the market. These rugged, compact solutions can decode 1D, 2D, and Direct Part Marked (DPM) codes and they can even successfully read damaged and incomplete symbols. The 48CR supports Ethernet/IP™ and can be configured through either the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application Add-on Profile (AOP) or the embedded WebConnect visual browser.
High-frequency RFID Systems
Our Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems are ideal for tracking and documenting products as they move through the manufacturing process in light-duty industrial applications. The RFID system tags, transceivers, and interfaces are designed to the ISO 15693 open standard for high frequency.
Encoders
Encoders can electronically monitor the position of a rotating shaft. Our absolute encoders on EtherNet/IP connect to and operate with the Logix controllers to provide position tracking data to be used in open-loop control systems. Our absolute encoders are electro-mechanical devices that are useful feedback elements in closed-loop control systems. They provide position control in packaging, robotics, pick and place, lead/ball screw, rotary table positioning and component insertion applications.
