VEGA VEGABAR pressure sensors and VEGAPOINT level switches

VEGA’s measurement portfolio for pharmaceuticals production now includes the VEGABAR pressure switches/sensors and VEGAPOINT level switches. Robust, versatile and easy to use, even under extreme conditions or strict regulations, the compact series are designed to show that automation can be simple and efficient at the same time, without compromising on hygiene or quality.

The measuring instruments are tailored to standard applications that nevertheless require high quality. Their standardised hygienic adapter system provides the flexibility needed to keep installation effort and parts inventory to the minimum. The process fittings can be interchanged and adapted to local requirements.

Due to the all-round status display, all sensor states can be easily seen from any direction. This illuminated ring, which can be customised from a choice of 256 different colours, remains clearly visible, even in daylight. At a glance, the user can see if the measuring process is running, if the sensor is switching or if any sensor management is required.

Sensor intelligence is built into the measuring instrument series: the standard IO-Link protocol ensures both universal and simple communication. Via the standardised communication platform, this enables seamless data transfer and simple system integration. VEGA has also integrated wireless communication into the series, with the sensors able to connect via smartphone or tablet. This makes set-up and operation easy in environments such as clean rooms, where physical access involves a lot of effort.

Designed for pharmaceutical processes, the products offer users a range of level and pressure measurement technology — all in the form of hygiene-optimised instrument designs that are easy to install and use.
