Pewatron and IS-Line are combining their activities through the Swiss Angst+Pfister Group, making them even more powerful partners in the sensor technology and power electronics market.

The Angst+Pfister Group and Christoph Kleye as sole owner and general manager of IS-LINE GmbH have entered into an agreement to sell all shares to the Angst+Pfister Group. Christoph Kleye will continue to lead the company as general manager of IS-LINE.  Pewatron AG has been part of the Angst+Pfister Group for the past nine years and already has a wide range of high-quality products in the sensor...

Range of adjustment between 1 and 100 bar

Pressure sensors and pressure switches with open flush diaphragms suitable for use with highly viscous media such as refrigerants, plastics, paper pulp, bitumen, sewage, paint and adhesives are an important part of the large Pewatron portfolio within pressure sensing and pressure switching. These high viscosity fluid pressure sensors/switches can be cleaned if there is a build up of residue around...

Range of adjustment between 40 and 1000 mbar

Differential pressure sensors and pressure switches with flush diaphragms suitable for use with gaseous and liquid media such as refrigerants, water, steam, liquid food and sewage are also an important part of the large Pewatron portfolio within pressure sensing and pressure switching. Common for these differential pressure sensors/switches in the ability to measure small changes in pressure in a...

from mbar up to more than 100 bar

The new 80A series from Pewatron is compact and suitable for most media thanks to an oil-filled measuring cell. The switching point and hysteresis of the electronic pressure switch can be defined by the customer and ranges from a few mbar to more than 100 bar. A number of threads are available for the process connection. This also applies for the electrical interface: various connectors or a cable...

Drying and de-oxidation processes at temperatures up to 300°C

Amperometric, zirconia based oxygen sensors have many advantages over amperometric, liquid based electrochemical oxygen sensors. Long operational lifetime & signal stability of the zirconia oxygen sensors are some of the advantages, when the two types of sensors are benchmarked against each other, but also the ability of the zirconia sensor to measure oxygen concentrations in high temperatures up...

New opportunities opening up in oxygen control applications

Oxygen controlled atmosphere (CA) applications in some cases rely on a long, stable operational lifetime of the oxygen sensing module and in some cases on a sufficiently high signal resolution in a wide range of oxygen concentrations. The FCX-U series of amperometric, zirconia oxygen sensors combines both – stable long lifetimes >> 3 years and high signal resolution < 10-200 ppm are generally...

Adjustment of the measurement range on-the-fly

Zirconia based potentiometric oxygen sensors are known for their large dynamic range and very high resolution. They are by far the best option for in-line gas sensing of oxygen concentrations in a very wide range of concentrations and for many different applications. The applications range from gas mixing in chemical plants to spot check measurements in food packages. For nitrogen and oxygen...

Suitable for pneumatic and water applications.

The PBM220 and highly compact PBM230 series are both piezoresistive absolute pressure sensors. Both series are available from 1 to 14 bar as standard – we even offer customised versions up to 25 bar. Thanks to the special gel coating, the sensors are suitable for numerous applications and can be subjected to a wide range of media. For example, the sensor is used in pneumatic applications, where...

Designed for signal stability and long operational lifetime

The technology of electrochemical cells (ECs) for gas sensing is well established and the ECs form the basis of an entire industry for safe monitoring of oxygen as well as safe monitoring of poisonous gases. However, safe monitoring of oxygen using ECs normally means coping with loss of signal sensitivity by frequent check-ups and replacement of the cells every 12-18 months. The reason why regular...

Best cost-of-ownership among any oxygen sensing technologies

Pewatron has developed a very versatile and functional family of OEM and customer specific products based on an amperometric zirconia FCX-U oxygen sensor. The FCX-U oxygen sensor comes with measurement ranges from 0…1000 ppm O2, 0…5 %Vol O2, 0…25 %Vol O2 and to 0…95 %Vol O2. Especially the first three types are very interesting for additive manufacturing applications, because all ranges of...
