TrackView
TrackView uses patented smart sensor technology developed in South Africa. It allows railway operators to have real-time information about events on their railway lines, without the installation and material costs of extensive track side cabling and the security and maintenance associated with such cables.
TrackView’s key benefits include:
● Axle counng & train integrity
● Rail break detection with location (<1m)
● Sensing range of up to 4km
● Real-time train speed and posion
● Reduced trackside infrastructure
● Event detection (eg landslides, flooding)

Valve sensors In industrial processes where liquids, air or gases are used, valves are needed for dosing and control. Pneumatic valve actuators are normally used for mechanical positioning. The valve position must be monitored electronically. Dual sensor for valve actuators A round target, also called a 'puck', with two metal screws offset by 90° is mounted on the actuator shaft. The screws are located at a different height. A compact dual inductive sensor (type IND) with two integral sensors detects the upper or lower metal screw depending on the valve position and thus the two switch positions. This system operates reliably with no wear at all. It is virtually resistant to external influence and insensitive to mechanical stress such as vibration and shock. Sensor for rising stem valves For position feedback on rising stem valves efector valvis is used. Two or three switch points can be set via pushbuttons over a stroke of 80 mm. In addition to the "open" and "closed" positions of the valve, a third position is used for "seat lift" monitoring (active during the cleaning process). Thanks to a resolution of 0.2 mm the sensor detects even very small changes in the position of the valve. The inductive measuring principle guarantees wear-free non-contact operation. Different adapters allow for easy installation of the same sensor on valves of various manufacturers and sizes.

The distance sensor detects objects by means of a focused radar beam. The powerful technology also allows the detection of targets whose reflection properties are poor. The data obtained in this way can be clearly visualised using the “Vision Assistant” software. For example, the distance profile can show multiple objects simultaneously, while their relative speed can also be output at the same time.

Air gap sensors are used in modern machine tools for quality assurance and wear detection. ifm has been active in this field for decades, so we know the needs and challenges of our customers in this area very well. In order to meet the demanding requirements, ifm is now pursuing an innovative approach. Instead of using a pressure measuring system for air gap measurement like conventional air gap sensors, ifm has developed an outstanding solution based on one of the latest flow sensors.
