About ifm electronic GmbH

close to you - to be our customers' first choice for innovative automation technology and digitization

With automation technologies ifm contributes to improving the living and working conditions of all people. Products, services and software from ifm help protect the environment worldwide and reduce CO2 emissions, energy and the use of materials.

ifm's extraordinarily large product portfolio not only takes into account all relevant standard solutions, but also the special requirements of individual industries.

In addition to position and process sensors, the range also includes sensors for motion control and safety technology. In addition, ifm offers products for industrial image processing and communication as well as identification systems and systems for mobile machines.

ifm develops innovative Industry 4.0 solutions and corresponding software and cloud products to make existing business processes digitally usable and to offer new, holistic control options for sustainable efficiency and cost optimization.

Through-Beam Sensors

The system consists of two separate components: a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits pulsed light in the infrared or visible red wavelength range. The receiver detects the light beam an...

Reflex light barrier

For a retro-reflective sensor the transmitter and receiver are incorporated into one housing. By means of a reflector the transmitted light is returned to the receiver. An object in the beam path inte...

Diffuse Reflection Sensors

A diffuse reflection sensor is used for the direct detection of objects. As with a retro-reflective sensor transmitter and receiver are incorporated into one housing. The transmitter emits light which...

Angle sensor

As is the case with through-beam sensors transmitter and receiver are arranged face to face. Both components are permanent parts of a fork or an angle, i.e. they do not have to be aligned towards each...

Distance sensors

PMD technology

PMD sensors with time-of-flight measurement (PMD = Photonic Mixer Device) combine the following advantages: long range, reliable background suppression, visi...

Capacitive sensors

Capacitive sensors are used for the non-contact detection of any objects. In contrast to inductive sensors, which only detect metallic objects, capacitive sensors can also detect non-metallic material...

Capacitive sensors

Display guide for the perfect setting

  • Unique display and handling concept with LED visualisation
  • See and compensate switch point movement
  • IP 69K...

Touch sensors

Touch sensors

Capacitive touch sensors can be used, for example, as a start and stop button on machines, as enable switches and for opening and closing gates. Compared to m...

Capacitive sensors - Use in hazardous areas

Use in hazardous areas

Sensors for hazardous dust areas of categories 3G/3D must withstand extreme requirements. Any risk from sensors must be excluded by special test meth...

Capacitive sensors - Type M12 (KF5001)

Type M12

Capacitive sensors in M12 design detect metallic and non-metallic objects without contact. They can be easily adapted to the respective application by adjusting th...

Capacitive sensors - With IO-Link

With IO-Link
Capacitive sensors detect bulk materials or liquids through non-metallic vessel walls. The parameters can either be set via the buttons on the sensor or via IO-Link interface usin...

Capacitive sensors - AC/DC sensors

AC/DC sensors

Capacitive sensors detect powdery bulk materials like flour or cocoa or agricultural products like grain directly or through vessel walls of silos and pneumat...

Vision with IO-Link? That's possible!
Essen, December 2023 - The German Design Award once again goes to ifm. After the jury last honored three of the company's products with the prestigious award in 2021, it will present the award in 2024 for the condition monitoring tool moneo RTM. It is the first design award for a software product from ifm.
September 2022 the ceremonial opening of the new office of ifm electronic İstanbul took place in the presence of some guests and employees.
