Top-quality proximity

switches

CONTRINEX has manufactured

inductive and photoelectric proximity

switches since its foundation in 1972.

From small beginnings, the company has

grown, and now employs over 200 peo-

ple. Today it specializes exclusively in the

development, manufacture and sales of

positioning sensors for industrial use.

A proximity switch manufac-

turer with a difference

Many years ago, CONTRINEX was

the first manufacturer to launch the now

widespread miniature inductive de-

vices with diameters 4 mm and M5 (400

series). In the course of time, many other

miniature types followed, such as the 3

mm diameter model (300 series), which

is the smallest self-contained inductive

proximity switch with built-in amplifier,

light-emitting diode, protective circuit,

etc. available on the market today.

Already in 1982, CONTRINEX in-

troduced the first inductive devices with

long operating distances (500 series),

which had previously been considered

impossible. Today, such devices are

available from a number of suppliers,

and form an important market segment.

However, the new standard for operating

distances introduced by CONTRINEX

at that time has remained virtually un-

matched by any other supplier.

In the meantime, CONTRINEX has

launched another series of switches with

characteristics far superior to those of

current inductive proximity switches: all-

metal housing, long operating distan-

ces on steel as well as on non-ferrous

metals (series 700).

For less demanding sensing tasks,

CONTRINEX offers a comprehensive

range of standard devices of the high-

est quality.

In addition, CONTRINEX photo-

electric proximity switches set new

benchmarks for high performance cou-

pled with small dimensions. The latest

breakthrough is a new miniature device

available in diameter 4 mm and M5 with

cylindrical light beam and well-defined

operating range.

Quality

If CONTRINEX proximity switches

are held in high regard by its worldwide

demanding clientele, it is not only be-

cause of their technical superiority, but

also because of their uncompromising

quality and reliability. This is achieved

by involving all departments and all man-

agement levels in our ISO 9001 certified

management system.

The strictest quality standards are

applied to the manufacture of every

CONTRINEX proximity switch. Nothing

is left to chance. Only suppliers who

also manufacture to the highest qual-

ity standards are qualified to deliver

components. Before each component

is released into production, it must pass

our rigorous incoming inspection. At each

production stage, intermediate testing is

carried out. And before packing, highly

developed automatic systems perform

a comprehensive test on every switch,

where all the important parameters

are checked, documented and statisti-

cally analyzed. In addition, the entire

manufacturing process is set up for full

traceability using the most up-to-date

computer technology. The consistently

high quality of CONTRINEX proximity

switches is certainly not just the result

of pure coincidence!

Worldwide

CONTRINEX products are sold in over

40 countries by experienced agents and

well-qualified regional distributors. Well-

managed local stocks ensure short de-

livery times. A list of our representatives

is available on request.

Research and development

Nearly all CONTRINEX proximity

switches are developed right up to the

production stage by ourselves in our

modern, well-equipped development

laboratories. Amongst others, our facili-

ties include:

− Computer simulators for analog and digital electronic circuits, optical systems,

magnetic fields

− Climatic test systems (temperature and humidity)

− EMC test systems (interference generators, measuring instruments, measuring

benches)

− Reliability test systems (operating condition simulation, temperature and humidity

cycles)

Manufacturing

Most CONTRINEX proximity switches are manufactured in our own factory by

highly trained and qualified staff. The key processes are bonding, SMD assembly,

trimming, final assembly, and potting.

Quality control

Every device undergoes a complete test cycle, using highly sophisticated au-

tomatic test systems, before leaving the factory. In addition, each switch is marked

with a reference number, ensuring traceability to historical manufacturing and test

information over a period of several years.

Applications

CONTRINEX switches are self-contained, non-contact position sensors. Not

only do they not contain parts prone to mechanical wear, but they are also virtually

insensitive to environmental influences. They are preferred for applications with ex-

acting requirements, such as reliability, switch-point accuracy, switching frequency,

durability, operating speed, etc. According to the physical principle used, a variety

of detection possibilities can be realized.

− Inductive proximity switches react only to metal parts, and are thus insensitive

to dirt, which is an advantage in many cases.

− Photoelectric proximity switches work with light, which results in long operat-

ing distances, and react also to non-conducting materials. Furthermore, these

devices are best suited for adapting to specific applications.

− Capacitive sensors are suitable for applications where, for instance, non-con-

ducting, transparent objects have to be detected, or where a clear difference in

dielectric properties exclusively distinguishes the target from its background.
