Innovative sensors for material detection, moisture measurement, high-temperature object detection...
For more than 40 years, Sensorik Austria has been an internationally renowned provider of high-quality sensor solutions for industrial process monitoring using innovative sensor and fiber optic technology: we develop, manufacture, and distribute optical and fiber optic sensors for demanding industrial applications, from presence control (object detection) in high-temperature areas to innovative near-infrared sensor systems for inline material sensing and material moisture measurement.
Object detection in high-temperature range
Sensorik Austria specializes in the challenging tasks of object detection/presence detection in industrial environments: wherever conventional proximity sensors are insufficient, such as in high-temperature areas where large working distances and/or long fiber optic lengths are required!
The innovative and proven (optical fiber) technology (FO) enables the sensorElectronics in industrial environments, thanks to light guides (also called fiber optics), it can be placed in less exposed areas. The fiber optics easily transmit the light signals to difficult to access Places or in rough and name is Environmental conditionswhere the use of sensor electronics would otherwise be virtually impossible. And even in less harsh environments, the small footprint of the fiber optic sensor head is advantageous, as no devices impede access to the product for maintenance/inspection.
Our fiber optic sensors for object detection/presence control have been successfully used for decades in applications involving high temperatures, heavy contamination, or potentially explosive working environments (ATEX): from detecting paper web breaks in a paper machine to slab monitoring in hot rolling mills! From the steel industry to specialty machinery.
The expertise in fiber optic sensors built up over decades in object detection also benefits our latest and highly innovative sensors for material detection and measuring material moisture.

Material sensors polyIdent - Inline instead of in the laboratory
After the multi-wavelength sensor tri²dent, the first industrial material sensor on the market, Sensorik Austria is now introducing a new, even more powerful generation: the new polyIdent material sensors.
The polyID Sensors operate outside the conventionally used light spectral ranges in the so-called SWIR range (short-wave-infra-red, translated: near-infrared) and enable the “characterization” of organic materials by using material-specific absorption profiles.
For example, the sensor can be used as a material sensor to differentiate between materials, monitor the concentration of ingredients, or monitor coatings. The polyIdent sensors combine state-of-the-art detector technology with powerful LEDs and a state-of-the-art communication and user interface. And gradually, the offering will encompass a broad sensor platform that can meet the most diverse customer requirements! Stay tuned!

In-line material moisture sensors - even in high-temperature range
In times of rising energy costs, the measurement of material moisture before and/or after drying is of crucial importance for the energy efficiency of the process and thus the process costs in all drying processes.
Our fiber-optic material moisture sensors enable continuous, non-contact inline moisture measurement, even in harsh environmental conditions or at hard-to-reach measuring points. Thanks to their fiber-optic design, the sensor systems are suitable for high temperatures and can be installed just before, after, or even inside the dryer, allowing continuous inline monitoring of (residual) moisture or optimization of the energy required for drying.
The moisture sensors are available in a wide variety of designs – including truly heavy-duty versions that, thanks to innovative protective equipment, can measure paper moisture even in the harsh environmental conditions of a paper machine's dryer section.
