High-performance light barriers

In industrial environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present, safety cannot be compromised. Tippkemper Matrix EX Photoelectric Sensors combine high-precision optoelectronic detection with certified explosion protection. Our sensors are engineered to operate reliably under the harshest conditions in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas industries.

Certified Safety according to ATEX and IECEx

For decades, Tippkemper Matrix has stood for innovative sensor technology "Made in Germany". Our explosion-proof photoelectric sensors meet the strict requirements of European ATEX directives as well as international IECEx standards.

We provide solutions for all relevant hazardous zones:

• Gas Ex-Areas: Suitable for Zone 0, 1, and 2.
• Dust Ex-Areas: Suitable for Zone 20, 21, and 22.

Through various ignition protection types, such as Intrinsic Safety (Ex i) or Flameproof Enclosure (Ex d), we guarantee that our devices pose no ignition risk to the surrounding atmosphere.

Your Advantages with Tippkemper Matrix EX Sensors

Why do leading industrial companies trust our EX photoelectric sensors?

• Extreme Robustness: Housings made of high-quality stainless steel or specially coated aluminum withstand aggressive chemicals and mechanical stress.
• Long Ranges: Despite strict power limitations in Ex-zones, our sensors offer impressive sensing distances.
• Versatile Designs: Whether through-beam, retro-reflective, or diffuse sensors – we have the right housing for your installation.
• High Protection Ratings: IP67 and IP68 ensure tightness against dust and moisture ingress.

Industrial Applications

Our explosion-proof sensors are essential components for automation in critical sectors:

1. Chemical & Petrochemical: Level control of solvents and monitoring of valve positions.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry: Detection in processes involving alcoholic solutions or fine powders.
3. Bulk Solids & Mining: Monitoring conveyor belts in dust-laden environments (e.g., coal, flour, wood dust).
4. Painting Systems: Object detection in environments with solvent vapors.

Customized Solutions for Hazardous Areas

Standard solutions are often not enough. Tippkemper Matrix specializes in custom adaptations. Do you need high-temperature photoelectric sensors for Ex-zones or special fiber optic systems? Our engineers develop the right solution for your specific zone requirements.
