4 Above-average quality creates reliability. Growing successfully in security Principle from ifm s corporate philosophy Responsible growth: The managing directors Martin Buck and Michael Marhofer run the company in the second generation. Since the foundation of the company in 1969, ifm has been growing consistently. Grow with us: ifm electronic close to you! Turnover development since sales development in million EUR Quality Made in Germany. Closely linked to the location Germany, we mainly produce in the region of Lake Constance. Administration and logistics of the familyowned company are located in the Ruhr region. More than 90 % of the annual worldwide production of ten million and systems are developed, produced and optimised in Germany each single product at reliably high quality. Given that high product quality and accurate technical data are unimpeachable values of ifm. (Principle from ifm s corporate philosophy). Extensive testing and certifications as well as more than 450 own development engineers guarantee this.

5 Extraordinary innovations ensure the future. ifm does not only intend to cover visible needs, but also directly creates needs by demonstrating new applications Principle from ifm s corporate philosophy Keeping the markets of tomorrow in view: Whether innovative product ideas, highquality standard solutions or applicationspecific product developments ifm is curious and loves solutions. More than 450 internal development engineers about 12 % of our employees in close cooperation with research institutes, universities and young partner companies such as PMDTechnologies GmbH or i-for-t GmbH, find new ideas and implement them. The result: more 580 own patents and patent applications. ifm wants to offer outstanding product quality, service and reliability Principle from ifm s corporate philosophy Quality just in time: In time and reliable the manufacturing processes are continually analysed and optimised to keep the delivery times as short as possible. This means: irrespective of quantities or the time frame each single ifm product is always of uncompromising high quality. The central logistics centre delivers your order reliably and in time if requested, even within the following 24 hours. A clear focus on close customer contact, quality and innovations: ifm personnel structure. Administration 15 % Service 9 % Research and Development 12 % Sales Department 29 % Production 35 %

6 Well positioned: Position and object recognition. Inductive Robust and hygienic: Full-metal inductive for the food industry with increased sensing range and protection IP 68 / IP 69K. Capacitive Bulk materials at a glance: The adjustment in the application is done by simply pressing a pushbutton. Always the best choice: Full-metal and connectors a perfectly adapted system for the highest demands. Easy fit drop from the top into a slot: The ifm cylinder are quick to install and can be securely fixed. Magnetic Cylinder Photoelectric Lean design, long ranges: Safety light grids and curtains according to type 2 / SIL 2 / PL d or type 4 / SIL 3 / PL e. Easy, quick and precise from all angles: Robust optical fork and angle with a high switching frequency. In the right position with ifm. From inductive via encoders up to 3D vision : ifm offers an extensive range of position. Whether robotics, handling, production or logistics: ifm are at home in all applications. Besides application-specific connectors, ifm offers suitable mounting accessories as a matter of course. Always the right turn: From the compact incremental encoder to the robust CANopen multiturn encoder. *Photo source: VWH Vorrichtungs- und Werkzeugbau Herschbach GmbH

7 High-speed reaction: Ring detect even the tiniest metal parts during their fall.* To play it safe: ifm fail-safe inductive do not require a coded counter part. They correspond to SIL 2 / 3 and PL d / e. Tool-free installation: Installation is done manually. The mechanical end stop protects the O-ring from excessive compression. Versatile connection: ecolink M12 or M8 connectors shock and vibration resistant, ingress resistant up to IP 67, IP 68 and IP 69K. Connection technology Exact position monitoring: Reliable even in cases of high travel speeds and short travel distances. Valve Smart monitoring: Complete sets for quarter-turn and rising stem valves with adapters and actuators simplify installation. No contact with the medium: Photoelectric level detection using the time of flight measurement: ideal for bulk materials and non-transparent liquids. Irrespective of orientation and position: Independent efector dualis 2D vision detect and evaluate any geometry. 3D at a glance: Detection of objects and scenes in three dimensions. 3D vision sensor efector pmd3d in an industrially compatible housing. Object recognition Encoders Keeping track: Set and monitor vision in the application by means of a panel PC.

8 Powerful performance: Fluid and diagnostic systems. Level Flow Decentralised monitoring of liquids: Volumetric flow efector mid without mechanical components for permanently precise measured values. Pressure Two in one: The first fully electronic contact manometer combines the advantages of a pointer display and an electronic pressure sensor. Master of pneumatics: Compact pressure sensor especially for applications in robotics and handling. Particularity: the 2-colour display. Goodbye, operating instructions: The switch points for the TK temperature sensor can be easily set and mechanically locked using the setting ring. Plugged in: The temperature plug converts the signals from different Pt100 / Pt1000 probes into an analogue and IO-Link signal. With ifm, the process runs smoothly. Using ifm fluid, you are well equipped for all areas of application. In the food and hygienic area as well as in contact with aggressive oils or coolants. High-quality materials make it possible. Suitable adapters ensure smooth connections. And for preventing standstills: our diagnostic systems detect damage even before it occurs. Connection technology

9 The appropriate sensor for each level: Capacitive probe, microwave technology or hydrostatic level measurement. Not only clean, but pure: The hygienic LMT level largely suppress deposits and foam. Efficient compressed air: efector metris detects even tiny leakages. Thus, compressed air consumption can be sustainably optimised.
