VEGA expands radar portfolio for factory automation
With the VEGAPULS 42 radar sensor , VEGA expands its IO-Link portfolio for factory automation and thus offers an optimal performance spectrum for all level , switching and pressure applications . The all-inclusive range of instrumentation from a single source makes everything easier – including the setup and operation of the most varied and complex processes .
VEGA expands radar portfolio for factory automation
Radar sensor with hygienic design
VEGAPULS 42 brings VEGA ' s decades of radar experience to factory automation . The sensor meets the special requirements of the industry for levels in small tanks or clocked filling processes . It is equipped with everything that hygiene-sensitive processes need : Its switching frequency enables high cycle rates and correspondingly fast level changes . Its flexible connection options range from standard threads to the universal connection for its 1-inch hygienic adapter . When delivered , it is immediately ready for operation and , in the 3-wire version , communication with IO-Link .
All the advantages of radar for automation
As a non-contact measuring principle , radar brings numerous advantages to the clocked processes in the food and pharmaceutical industries , such as filling , that other measuring solutions cannot offer . The need for this is great , because reliable measured values are becoming increasingly important for efficient plant operation and optimal process control . With IO-Link , VEGAPULS 42 not only communicates universally , but can also be hooked up very quickly and inexpensively via a simple 3-wire connection . Sensor replacement is quick and automatic with the new Smart Sensor Profile 2 , and adjustment is very easy using the VEGA Tools app on a smartphone with Bluetooth .
Wireless adjustment
360 ° status display or on-site digital display
Universal connection for hygienic adapter
Stainless steel housing
Double certainty through visualisation
With VEGAPULS 42 , you can see at first glance if the process is running as it should or if there ’ s a problem . An illuminated ring that changes colour allows the sensor to be read from all directions , and even from a distance .
“ This configuration not only gives you immediate certainty about the current condition of the sensor ,” explains product manager Marvin Moser , “ but also another way to check the process status .”
