naosIN
Our robust image-based particle measurement technology as a compact insertion sensor for a wide range of applications in process engineering
Precise particle analysis directly in the process
The naosIN is the high-performance sensor in the IPS portfolio. With 5,000 frames per second and a measuring range from 5 µm to 10 mm, it reliably captures even fast-flowing, wide particle distributions. The optional ATEX/IECEx certification makes it the preferred sensor for mining, explosives and high-risk chemical plants.

To the feasibility analysisFrequently asked questions about the sensor technology
Is the process connection variable?
Yes, the process connection can be adapted to your individual requirements. Please note that for rental units and measurement campaigns only a limited selection of process connections is available.
Is the sensor available with ATEX certification?
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer a version with ATEX certification. Please contact us if your requirements call for an ATEX design.
What materials are the wetted parts made of?
We currently manufacture all wetted parts in high-grade stainless steel and rely on sapphire glass and durable seals. Get in touch with us if your application requires more resistant materials.
Is the sensor's measuring principle laser-based?
No, our sensors are based exclusively on an imaging measuring principle. This gives you the advantage of measuring particle shapes in addition to the particle size distribution. In addition, the image provides a direct and verifiable basis for the results.
How high is the temporal resolution of the measurement?
With our sensor technology, you can capture up to 10 images per second and evaluate them in real time. For dynamic processes, complex measurement protocols with varying acquisition rates are available.
What is included in the scope of delivery?
The sensor is equipped with a compact control cabinet. For more information on cable lengths and dimensions, please request a datasheet from us.
