For more than 40 years, Sensorik Austria has been an internationally renowned provider of high-quality sensor solutions for industrial process monitoring with innovative sensor and fiber optic technology: we develop, manufacture and sell 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 material detection and measurement of material moisture. Sensorik Austria deliberately relies on innovative and proven fiber optic technology (FO) when developing its products. In industrial environments, it is of great value that the sensor electronics can be placed in less exposed areas thanks to fiber optics. The fiber optics easily guide the light signals even to hard-to-reach places or in harsh and hot environmental conditions where the use of sensor electronics would otherwise hardly be possible. And even in less harsh environments, the small space requirement of the fiber optic sensor head is an advantage, as no devices impair accessibility to the product for maintenance/inspection. Our fiber optic sensors for object detection/presence control have been used successfully for decades in applications with high temperatures, heavy contamination or in potentially explosive working environments (ATEX): from the detection of paper web breaks in a paper machine to slab monitoring in hot rolling mills! From the steel industry to special machine construction. The know-how in fiber optic sensors built up over decades in object detection is now also used in our latest and again highly innovative sensors for material detection and for measuring material moisture.
