Excellent process reliability, optimum performance and maximum reliability: The new and comprehensive portfolio of sensors brings together these important core values and facilitates troublefree and efficient manufacturing processes. Many sensors offer the best technically feasible and practical solutions. From the world's smallest inductive sensor to

factor 1 technology. From colour sensors to monitoring smooth running; and yet they are very competitively priced. These products are naturally fully coordinated with products and services from Festo.

Proximity sensors, position transmitters and connection technology


This range began with a proximity switch in Festos portfolio of sensors which was optimally coordinated for use with pneumatic drives. New variants and completely new functionalities were created on the basis of this stable and successful platform. The analogue position transmitter was a logical development. With connectivity in mind, the NEBU modular system for connecting cables provides excellent connections for the SVE4 signal converters for example and in the case of the NEBU system, this even extends to all sensor types from Festo and more besides.
