VEGA Grieshaber KG
About us
VEGA Grieshaber KG is a globally active manufacturer of process instrumentation. Its product portfolio extends from sensors for measurement of level, point level and pressure to equipment and software for integration into process control systems.
Founded in the Black Forest in 1959, VEGA today employs approximately 2000 associates worldwide, 1000 of whom work at the headquarters in Schiltach. Here is where solutions for the most different and demanding measuring tasks are conceived and brought to realization. In addition to its headquarters in Schiltach, the company has 23 subsidiaries, one holding company as well as 78 agencies in more than 80 countries. The export ratio is over 80 percent.
VEGA is a reliable partner for all industries in both technical and economic respect. Because all of them profit from VEGA’s philosophy: simplify the application and increase its reliability. VEGA sensors measure the level in process and storage tanks or the pressure in vessels or process pipelines. Production processes in many sectors – in the chemical and the pharmaceutical industry, in environmental engineering, in the paper and ceramics industry, in mining as well as other primary industries, in power generation as well as in the areas of food production and water/waste water treatment – would be unthinkable without technology from VEGA.
The company’s products have all necessary certificates and approvals for worldwide application.
Products
Level sensor VEGAPULS 6X
VEGAPULS 6X is a universal sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids and bulk solids under all process conditions. Due to its application-oriented configuration and setup, VEGAPULS 6X offers a reliable and economical solution for all level applications. Due to its variable antenna systems, it ensures maintenance-free operation in all applications. The small process fittings offer particular advantages for liquids in small tanks or tight mounting spaces. The very good signal focusing ensures the use in vessels with many installations such as stirrers and heating spirals. For bulk solids under most different process conditions, the device is ideal for level measurement in very high silos, large bunkers and segmented vessels. The VEGAPULS 6X is equipped with an encapsulated plastic antenna or a lens antenna integrated into the metal flange for this. VEGAPULS 6X also offers decisive technical innovations: It is equipped with a comprehensive safety concept. Functional safety is guaranteed, as it conforms with all the requirements of Safety Integrity Level. The certified sensor has exceptional SIL characteristics and provides the necessary operational safety to minimise risks in safety-related applications. Another increasingly important focus is “cybersecurity”. In this regard the VEGAPULS 6X conforms to IEC 62443, which fulfils the strictest requirements for security of system access and communication control. It thus guarantees comprehensive process security, right through to the control system. Your benefit - Exact measuring results independent of process conditions - Maintenance-free operation through non-contact measuring principle - Application-oriented configuration enables a simple device selection
Radiometric sensor for level detection POINTRAC 31
The short rod detector monitors the limit level of liquids and bulk solids without contact. The sensor is used on vessels of any geometry and on pipelines. The POINTRAC 31 is a radiation-based sensor for universal level detection of liquids and bulk solids. Independent of the mounting location, it monitors reliably the limit level in vessels. The sensor can be used for applications in all industries. Due to the high sensitivity POINTRAC 31 is an economical solution with minimum radiation activity. Your benefit - Exact measuring results independent of process conditions - High process reliability through determination of buildup - Economical level detection under arduous application conditions
Compact capacitive limit switch VEGAPOINT 31
VEGAPOINT 31 is an inexpensive level switch designed especially for use with light bulk solids. The optional universal connection for hygienic adapters ensures reduced installation work and spare parts inventory, and perfectly meets the requirements of hygienic processes in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. It can be used in the application without any adjustment. With IO-Link, it offers universal digital data transmission. Your benefit • Highly visible, full-colour multidirectional (360°) status display, adjustable • Simple integration into control systems through IO-Link communication • Low-cost level switch, optimized for light bulk solids
Vibration level switch VEGAWAVE 62
Vibrating level switch with suspension cable for powders The VEGAWAVE 62 is a level switch for universal use in powders and fine-grained bulk solids. The level switch detects reliably and robust the min. or max. limit level. The tuning fork is ideal for use either in adhesive and abrasive products as well as in bulk solids with very low density. The position of the switching point is determined through the length of the suspension cable. It can be up to 80 m away from the installation site. The tuning fork design is very robust and unaffected by buildup. Grain size: max. 10 mm Your benefit - Low costs for maintenance through robust design - Minimum time and cost expenditure thanks to simple setup without medium - Reliable function through product-independent switching point
Autarkic radar level sensor VEGAPULS Air 42
NB-IoT/CAT-M1, LoRa, measuring range up to 30m, accuracy +/-2mm VEGAPULS Air 42 is the ideal sensor for all autarkic applications with bulk solids and liquids. It is particularly suitable for level measurement in mobile bulk solids silos for dry mortar, concrete and plasters as well as in liquid tanks of all kinds. VEGAPULS Air 42 offers an economical solution through simple and reliable mounting without additional power supply. Your benefit - Exact measurement results independent of medium, process and environmental conditions - Maintenance-free operation due to non-contact 80 GHz radar technology - Easy installation thanks to autarkic voltage supply and radio technology
