VEGA Grieshaber KG
About us
As one of the world’s leading suppliers, VEGA develops and produces level and pressure sensors for industrial process engineering. Wherever maximum efficiency, safety and sustainability are crucial, our goal is to offer the optimal solution and fully exploit the potential of the application.
The family-owned company has been developing sensor solutions for 65 years already. During this time, it has become known for long-term thinking and acting as a driver of innovation for industries as diverse as chemicals, food, mining, pharmaceuticals, water, wastewater, oil and gas. It is these decades of application experience that allow VEGA to provide customers with an instrument version that best solves their measurement problem.
VEGA sensors are ideally equipped for the complex measuring tasks in today’s industrial processes – whether they involve volatile substances, viscous masses, fine powders or abrasive bulk solids. The spectrum ranges from simple sensors for standard applications to more sophisticated instruments for highly demanding applications, like those dealing with CIP and SIP processes, Ex hazards or extreme temperatures. For that reason, they’re made of robust materials and equipped with all necessary approvals.
Smart, straightforward and customer-oriented: These key words describe the path that VEGA has taken to build its sensor portfolio as well as its collaborative partnerships. The instruments feature quick setup and intuitive operation and can be easily integrated into any application in a process. With clever networking, VEGA is looking far into the future, also in terms of communication with standards such as APL or IO-Link. And because more visible also means more reliable, VEGA has integrated a Bluetooth function to make all sensors especially convenient to adjust and operate, even from a distance.
Products & services
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
