Ultrasonic Sensors
Measure distance by using ultrasonic waves.The sensor head emits an ultrasonic wave and receives the wave reflected back from the target. Ultrasonic Sensors measure the distance to the target by measuring the time between the emission and reception.

Vibration Sensors
ifm Vibration monitoring systems help you avoid unplanned downtime in the middle of production by providing vibration data to assess and evaluate the condition of your machine in real time. That way, you can schedule maintenance of machines when it fits your schedule. Using the same vibration monitoring technology, you can detect and prevent expensive machine damage in real-time.

Analytical Sensors
Conductivity sensors are pre-destined for use in the food industry. They detect the conductivity and concentration of different media and can differentiate between e.g. cleaning agents, rinsing water, and the food product. This means that it is not only possible to constantly track the product but also to reduce the waste of product and rinsing water – all possible without making adjustments to the sensor.
