Baumer FFDK Photoelectric Level Sensors

Tuesday, November 30, 2010 by Beckie Bordenaro
These easy to mount, non-contact photoelectric level sensors feature integrated electronics and require no adjustments to be made post-installation for accurate detection of fluid presence.

ffdk baumer electricA dark/light switch allows the user to select the appropriate setting for their specific application. These rugged sensors are made with PFI for chemical resistance.

Where might you use the Baumer FFDK photoelectric level sensor?
Applications would include laboratory automation, medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, beverage processing and other industries.

Baumer designed the FFDK 16 photoelectric level sensors to be mounted onto transparent or half-transparent standpipes from 3 to 13 mm in diameter.

Foam can cause measurement errors in standard optical level sensors. To prevent this problem, the optical version of the FFDK 16 sensor features fibers that are arranged in rows, which allow the sensor to suppress foam and air bubbles up to 3 mm in size.

Marshall Wolf Automation is your industrial automation distributor for the complete line of Baumer Electric sensors including photoelectric systems, ultrasonic motion sensors, encoders, inductive and capacitive proximity sensors.
