Accredited testing laboratory "RECHNER Lampertheim" according to ISO 17025

Within the last few days our accredited testing laboratory has once again been audited, with success. The first Audit was exactly 12 years ago. Since then our qualified and independent testing personnel have ensured that products from RECHNER-Sensors are a by-word for high quality.
Since being one of the very first accredited testing laboratories, we are still worldwide one of the few such testing establishments for proximity sensors. We are proud that we continue to make a further important contribution for the international leading position of our products.
For all our products "made in Germany" also means, "tested in Germany".
This means for our clients the certainty and guarantee that all our products have to pass a complete final inspection of all functions before delivery. Not batch tests only - but 100 % tested!
RECHNER SENSORS - Leader in capacitive sensor technology

RoHS conformity

We are pleased to inform you that we have already changed our production process to conform to the RoHS directive.

From November 2005 we have only ordered components (circuit boards, component parts, etc) which conform to the directives RoHS and WEEE.

In March 2006 our soldering process was changed to "lead-free".

Further details can be found in our customer information "Care of the Environment".

50 mm Sensing Distance !

Record sensing distance with the new High Performance Proximity Sensors from RECHNER. The M32 threaded sensor with 5 cm active area allows a flush mounting sensing distance of more then 50 mm. This corresponds to 5 times the Sn of a standard M30 sensor. The PEEK covered active area offers excellent protection, since this material is considered to be oil resistant, resistant to nearly all chemicals, physiologically harmless and it has very good mechanical characteristics, like abrasion resistance. This 4-wire DC sensor is available with antivalent PNP switching output.

Capacitive Sensor - an all round performance ensures everything runs well!

RECHNER’s capacitive filling level detection sensor is especially designed for the detection of very adhesive products. The non-stick characteristic of the PTFE housing is enhanced with the round tip of the sensor. These sensors are often used in the chemical industry as well as in the food industry. Sensing only takes place at the tip of the sensor, which also ensures that there is no problem from unwanted switching caused by product build-up on the wall of the container. Permitted ambient temperature max. +100°C.

The Top-Team In The Ex-Area

RECHNER-Sensors have a wide reaching program of Ex- protected sensors. The product family comprise capacitive and inductive proximity sensors in cylindrical size from 6.5 to 40 mm in diameter. NAMUR sensors and proximity sensors with NPN or PNP transistor output rank among the standard. With the Ex- protected isolation amplifiers the product range is complete. The ATEX-certified units are available for areas with danger of gas explosion (Zone 0,1 and 2) and for areas with danger of dust explosion (Zone 20, 21 and 22). Being an A T E X certified firm, RECHNER can also offer sensors with a manufacturers declaration for both of these explosion danger areas.

High Performance – the standard for RECHNER’s capacitive proximity sensors

Rechner has proved once again, that supreme achievement is possible, when the customer‘s demands are merged with their innovation and longstanding experience. High Performance, just two words that accurately describe the new generation of standard sensors: Capacitive sensors with 3 times higher sensing distance than the norm, high temperature stability up to 100°C and excellent EMC-characteristics. The sensing distance is medium optimised, so that with just one adjustment it is possible to detect a variety of products. The series comprise capacitive sensors in cylindrical size from M 8 x 1 mm to 64 mm in diameter, with both flush and non-flush mountable models. Also ranging among the standard are chemical resistant and food-grade sensors in PTFE or PTFE/stainless steel housings.

Capacitive Sensors KXS

The capacitive proximity sensors that make up the KAS-40..., KAS-70..., KAS-80..., KAS-90, KAS-1000 and KAS-2000 series . are already established as powerful leaders in today.s market. They are well accepted as sensors that are reliable, and there are a large number of versions to suit many applications in the processing industry and throughout mechanical engineering. Nowadays they are indispensable. Important parameters for the user are the achievable switching distance and the size of the sensor. Larger switching distances require larger sensors. It is here, that the new KXS/KXA-Systems show their strength. Although one achieves essentially larger switching distances with these capacitive systems, their size is actually smaller. The sensors of the KXS/KXA-Series are based on a different measuring principle, the three-electrode-principle. Advantages: - Extreme large sensing distance, up to 10-times the norm - miniature sensors from M5 - Measurement of smallest changes in capacity - suitable for high-temperature areas up to +250°C (ceramics +800°C) - up to three adjustable switching points in one sensor (Duplex and Triplex operation)

Level sensors with connection head

Our level probes are now available with connection head to include all electronics. Heads available in aluminium or stainless steel with inch thread, NPT or Triclamp mounting connection.
