Smart Industrial Sensors and Switches for Automation in Ireland
Sensors and Switches are the critical components that convert physical parameters into actionable electrical data, serving as the ‘eyes and ears’ of your pneumatic and electric installations. At Hydraquip, we supply high-reliability SMC sensors and switches that maximize productivity, quantify performance, and are fundamental to successful predictive maintenance strategies across the Irish industry. Our goal is to make your processes precise, efficient, and easily integrated into modern smart factory concepts.
We offer a diverse and versatile range of sensing solutions to monitor every critical parameter within your system:
Pressure & Vacuum Sensors: Our digital pressure sensors and vacuum sensors provide accurate, real-time monitoring to minimize switching errors and machine downtime. Available for positive, vacuum, or compound pressure, these sensors adapt to all applications, including liquid coolant pressure control, filter clogging monitoring, and workpiece placement verification.
Flow Sensors: These digital sensors provide precise monitoring of gas or liquid flow, delivering critical real-time data on flow rate, accumulated consumption, and leakage. They are essential for applications like air leakage detection, equipment flow control, and fluid rate control in thermo-chillers.
Auto Switches: Designed for use with pneumatic and electric actuators and grippers, Auto Switches detect piston rod position via integrated magnets. Since they are non-contacting, they are highly wear-resistant and guarantee a high level of operational reliability for tasks like pick & place, dimensions measurement, and product position verification.
Temperature & Humidity Switches: Specialized switches to monitor environmental and component conditions, further supporting system stability and preventing failures caused by excess heat or moisture.
Our advanced sensing portfolio enables the Smart Flexibility and Energy Efficiency the industry demands today. Many of our sensors feature IO-Link compatibility, allowing you to monitor detailed cyclic and non-cyclic diagnostic data. This powerful capability helps you detect potential equipment issues, monitor them in detail, and drastically reduce machine downtime by enabling true preventive industrial maintenance. Furthermore, our sensors prioritize ease of use, featuring visible on-screen parameters (often red/green color coding) and a simple three-step programming process for straightforward setup.
Take advantage of our sensors and switches by using our Digital Switch Model Selector, or don’t hesitate to get in touch with our experts for accurate and detailed technical support.
