Explosion protected precision - your confidence in safety!

Tippkemper-Matrix GmbH is the leading manufacturer of explosion proof sensors. Our mission is to provide you with innovative and reliable solutions for safe operation in potentially explosive environments. With our impressive range of explosion proof laser distance sensors, photoelectric sensors, fibre optics, level sensors and even explosion proof laser pointers, we ensure that you are protected in every situation.

Our explosion proof laser distance sensors provide accurate and reliable distance measurement in environments where conventional sensors would fail. Whether you need to monitor distances or position objects, our laser distance sensor ensures that you always get the exact data you need without compromising on safety.

Our explosion proof photoelectric sensor puts safety in your hands. By reliably detecting obstacles or movement, it ensures safe operation even in potentially explosive environments. Whether in confined spaces or areas with explosive gases or dusts, our explosion proof photoelectric switches are rugged and accurate to meet your needs.

For environments with extreme heat, aggressive chemicals or explosive substances, our explosion proof fibre optics are the perfect choice. They allow light signals to be transmitted into hard-to-reach areas, while offering the highest levels of safety and durability. Our fibre optic cables keep you flexible and safe.

The level sensor is an indispensable tool in many industries, from chemical and petrochemical to food and beverage. Our explosion proof level sensor accurately and reliably monitors liquid levels in vessels, even in potentially explosive environments. You can rely on its accuracy and functionality to keep your business running safely and efficiently.

Finally, our explosion proof laser pointer - the ideal solution for presentations, inspections or training in hazardous areas. With our explosion proof laser pointer you can accurately and safely mark and highlight important information without compromising on safety.

Your safety is our number one priority. Our explosion proof sensors meet the highest international standards and norms so you can use them with confidence. We are constantly developing our products to meet your specific needs.
