Ifm Electronic

Sensors are widespread and often used components within technical systems to make processes faster, more efficient and automated. The eibabo® shops from eibmarkt® also sell high-quality sensor technology from various manufacturers, including those from IFM Electronic GmbH. The company's competencies lie in the development of components for position sensors and object recognition, the bus system AS-Interfaces, control systems, fluid sensors and diagnostic systems as well as in the field of identification systems. The products are used in a wide variety of industries, for example in robotics and automation, the automotive industry, the food industry, machine tools, the water and waste water sector and mobile machines. The history of IFM Electronic GmbH begins with Robert Buck founding an engineering office for measurement technology and automation for the development of sensors and controls in 1967. At the same time, Robert Buck worked together with Gerd Marhofer and Bernd Rüsing in an engineering community for measurement technology, from which the abbreviation IFM is derived. The development of a joint inductive proximity switch formed the basis for founding today's IFM group of companies. The company headquarters are in Essen. The products and services are sold in over 180 countries. Over 8,000 people work across borders for the group of companies. The eibabo® technology store supplies the following products from the IFM Electronic GmbH range: inductive sensors, air flow sensors, compact modules, pressure sensors, cable connectors, fill level sensors, cable sockets, flow monitors, proximity switches, temperature sensors, safety sensors, speed monitors, light barriers, distance sensors and flow sensors .
