Mencom Introduces Magnetic Sensors for Industrial Applications

Mencom Expands Industrial Connector Solutions with New Line of Magnetic Sensors for Automation, Manufacturing, and Process Control Applications

Mencom, a leading provider of industrial connector solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of a new line of magnetic sensors to its product offering. Designed to meet the diverse needs of modern industrial environments such as automation, manufacturing and process control, automotive, medical, and aerospace, these sensors provide reliable and versatile solutions for a variety of applications.


Mencom's new magnetic sensors, available in reed and GMR types, are designed for easy installation using either a clamp or screw system. They operate within a voltage range of 10 to 100V and 5 to 30V respectively and perform optimally in temperatures from -25°C to +90°C. The reed sensors have a maximum load capacity of 10 W DC and a switching current of up to 400 mA at 25°C, while the GMR sensors can switch up to 150 mA and detect field strengths of 2.8 mT. Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, both types of sensors feature an IP67 protection rating, making them resistant to dust and water. They also feature a yellow LED operating indicator for easy status monitoring.

With low power consumption in a compact design and high-performance capabilities like sensitivity and durability, the use of Magnetic sensors will provide improved system efficiency and cut down maintenance costs effectively.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
