Print and Paper Industry

We introduced the world's first inductive proximity sensor in 1958, and over the years we've extended our product portfolio to include ultrasonic, photoelectric, and capacitive sensors, rotary encoders, vision sensors, interface modules, and a complete line of cordsets and accessories. We continue to increase our range of established base technologies with continuous innovations. The acquisition of the brands Visolux (2000, photoelectric sensors) and Omnitron (2004, data matrix readers) has enabled us to further expand and define our position in the print and paper industry.

With this wide product offering - available from a single source our experts can help you choose the appropriate sensing technologies for your specific application, no matter where you're located. With locations on six continents, a global presence enables Pepperl+Fuchs to offer the best of both worlds: extremely high engineering standards combined with efficient, low-cost manufacturing facilities. We have exactly what you need to make your process efficient and reliable.

With Pepperl+Fuchs being a pioneer in precision sensors, which are used to control paper feeds in paper machinery, it would be difficult to find another manufacturer with such an extensive range of sensors for use in this area of industry. Whether printing, folding, punching or enveloping: the innovative sensors of Pepperl+Fuchs provide for ultimate precision in all applications. Especially Pepperl+Fuchs Visolux photoelectric sensors have been an established feature in printing machinery for more than 25 years.
