Retro-reflective Sensors by Tippkemper Matrix – Efficiency Meets Safety
When dual-sided wiring is too costly or technically impossible, retro-reflective sensors from Tippkemper Matrix are the ideal solution. Both transmitter and receiver are housed in a single, rugged unit. The light beam is returned by a passive reflector (triple mirror) mounted opposite the sensor.
This principle reduces installation time and material costs significantly while maintaining full compliance with safety standards in hazardous areas. Our sensors are ATEX and IECEx certified for global use.
Key Advantages: Less Wiring, Proven Technology
Why do engineers choose our retro-reflective systems?
- Cost-Effective Installation: Since only the sensor requires electrical connection (the reflector is passive), cabling effort is halved compared to through-beam systems.
- Easy Alignment: With visible light spots (on many models) and generous reflector areas, commissioning is fast and straightforward.
- Standardized Housings: Available in industry-standard M18 and M30 threaded barrels, as well as rectangular designs for specific mounting needs.
- Reliable Range: Even without a separate receiver housing, our sensors achieve ranges perfectly suited for most conveyor lines and monitoring tasks.
Certified Explosion Protection for Gas and Dust
Safety is non-negotiable. Our retro-reflective sensors are engineered for use in high-risk zones:
- Gas Atmospheres: Suitable for Zone 1 and 2.
- Dust Atmospheres: Suitable for Zone 21 and 22.
Using ignition protection types such as flameproof enclosures (Ex d), we ensure that the electronics remain safely isolated, even in aggressive chemical or milling environments.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor Systems: Detecting packages, pallets, or containers on roller conveyors where wiring across the line is difficult or expensive.
- Filter Monitoring: Monitoring dust collectors to detect smoke or dust breakthroughs caused by damaged filters.
- Gate Control: Simplified installation for securing passageways and doors in hazardous areas.
- General Object Detection: Reliable presence monitoring of standard objects in automated processes.
