As the inventor of the proximity sensor and a pioneer in sensor technology, Pepperl+Fuchs is continuously developing new products and technologies that can be seamlessly integrated into your unique application. Active Shielding Technology was developed to get the most out of mechanical tolerances and achieve consistently high switching distances. Now integrated into the VariKont series for the first time, the technology gives sensors the ability to actively detect both the target and the installation environment, keeping the switching distances high, no matter the installation situation and the surrounding material. Benefit from easier equipment design and reduced costs! Highlights Consistently high switching distances of 30 mm for flush mounting and 50 mm for non-flush mounting—regardless of the installation situation! Flexible system planning and easier equipment design Adjustable sensor head for quick and easy installation Convenient status monitoring via high visibility corner LEDsC Internal quality testing goes above and beyond the requirements of target industry machine applications The performance of commercially available proximity sensors is usually limited as their switching distances can vary considerably based on the installation situation and the surrounding material. The VariKont inductive sensors with Active Shielding Technology, however, use a combination of a primary coil and secondary coil to achieve high switching distances up to 30 mm flush and 50 mm non-flush.
