Plastic profiles for sensors
High profile accuracy
Self-extinguishing material
Fully customizable
Dimensionally stable despite heat
Plastic profiles for sensor technology are used in a wide variety of sectors and industries. The demands placed on the accuracy and mechanical properties of the profiles are high: as sensitive sensor technology is enclosed inside the profiles, they must have a very precise internal contour.
To ensure that the sensor remains securely in place, the thermal expansion of the plastic profile must exactly match that of the aluminium rail.
Extremely smooth surfaces
We can fully customise our plastic cover profiles to your individual requirements and needs. Our self-extinguishing polyamide ensures efficient and safe operation of your production lines, not least thanks to the extremely smooth surface, an achievement of our in-house extrusion process.
High-precision and fire safety
Plastic profiles can be used in the most diverse areas and industry branches, with requirements varying based on each individual application. Nonetheless, demands on accuracy and mechanical profiles of the plastic housing are always high: an extremely accurate internal contour is necessary to house the sensor technology, and they must match the thermal expansion behavior of the rail to safely hold the sensor in place.
Fire safety
We also know that fire safety is a significant factor. Continuous contact with electricity naturally poses a fire risk, requiring the sensor material to be self-extinguishing (in accordance with UL94 V-0) and colored yellow to match surrounding components.
A frequent additional requirement for applications with fire protection-optimised plastics is that the material must be free of red phosphor and halogens. We therefore only process plastics for sensors that do not contain these harmful substances.
