After winning the Germany Design Award last year, three ifm products were awarded the Germany Design Award 2020 this year: the MQ2000 magnetic sensor, the EVF570 wireable jack and the O2I500 barcode/QR code reader were all recognized by the jury.
The Germany Design Award is open to the Germany and international design community, and an international jury selects groundbreaking and innovative products and projects. The award aims to explore and showcase unique design trends and promote the development of a design-led economy through competitions.
At this year's Germany Design Award, the first ifm product to win the award was the MQ2000 magnetic sensor. The MQ2000 ensures reliable position monitoring in the metals industry. The key to the jury's recognition was its extremely compact form factor and flat design, making it ideal for applications where space is important. Integrated operating hours and switching cycle counters as well as dirt detection provide customers with information on the status of sensors and machines and facilitate maintenance. "The sensor is housed in a rugged, impact-resistant housing and is very small and compact, which perfectly suits the specific needs of applications in the metal industry."
The second "winner" is the EVF570 wireable jack, which allows users to wire themselves at their own factory, resulting in significant cost and resource savings. The jury recognized the product because: "Thanks to this cleverly designed, high-tech jack, users can wire it themselves at their own factory." It is made of high-quality materials to protect cables even in harsh industrial environments. Plus, it's simple to use. ”
The third "winner" is the O2I500 barcode/2D code reader, which provides reliable reading results even in the most difficult environments in the field of factory automation. The O2I500 can read up to 4 different barcodes in milliseconds, transporting workpieces to the right machine at the right time. With one-touch teach-in and configurable apps, it is robust, sophisticated and intuitively operated. This product sets new standards for automated production processes. "The barcode/QR code reader has a sophisticated design and attention to detail, such as the fine dynamic joints and the eye-catching red lines. It is a modern, compact product that is both functional and high-tech. ”

Common faults of pressure sensors – ifm
If the power supply is normal, it is necessary to carry out a simple pressurization to see if the output has changed, perhaps observe whether the zero position of the sensor has an output, assuming that it has not changed, the sensor has been damaged, otherwise it is the appearance of the damage or other links of the whole system.

Understanding the accuracy of sensors – ifm
There are three indicators of precision: precision, correctness, and precision, but how do you understand them?
precision

The difference between an ifm level sensor and a level switch
Many people are stupid and can't tell the difference between the liquid level sensor and the liquid level switch, and even think that they are the same instrument. In fact, there is a big difference between them. The level sensor does not necessarily display the liquid level, but outputs the liquid level in the form of an electrical signal. The liquid level controller is based on the liquid level sensor ...

Structural classification of UV sensors
1. Spherical cathode structure:
In order to fully avoid the tip effect and make the photoelectron emission more stable and uniform, it is necessary to fix the operating area on the cathode, because the ultraviolet tube relies on photoelectron emission and gas multiplication to complete the conversion of the optical signal into an electrical signal and amplify it.

Precautions for accelerometer installation
Pick the right adhesive! We need to know the importance of adhesives, many people do not pay attention to the selection of adhesives, the natural frequency of the accelerometer is determined by the degree of coupling of the bond, so it is important to choose the right adhesive. The weight of the accelerometer is also what we have to test.
