Extended Range Inductive Proximity Sensors
TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs introduces X-Series Pile Driver™ Extended Range Inductive Sensors. These robust sensors are available in 12mm, 18mm and 30mm diameters to deliver sensing ranges of 5mm, 10mm or 15mm – up to 2.5 times longer range than traditional inductive sensors. 100% stainless steel housings deliver durability more than 20 times that of […]
Magnetostrictive Sensors Meet Off-Highway Requirements
For off-highway equipment, the influx of electro-hydraulics, electronic controls, and computer controls has increased automation opportunities. But you can’t simply shoehorn industrial sensors into these applications, noted Brian Cox, product manager, MTS Sensors. “It’s not that industrial sensors are inferior, they simply offer different functions than off-highway needs. Fine resolution, for example, is unnecessary. We […]
Precalibrated Position Sensor from Macro Sensors
Pennsauken, NJ – Macro Sensors has designed a position sensor that is hermetically sealed, frictionless and will serve as a long-life replacement for failing potentiometers. Offering frictionless position feedback similar to the potentiometer, the LP750 Series position sensors have no parts that wear out, offering unlimited cycle life and greater performance than a potentiometer. Unique […]
RAL Series Slot Style Photoelectric Sensors Offer One Piece Housing for Simple Mounting and Error-Free Alignment
(TWINSBURG, OH) – The RAL series features a multiple-beam light grid and one-piece metal slot housing with slot widths from 50mm to 150mm for simplified mounting and alignment. They feature 5 kHz switching frequency, a built-in one shot timer, beam suppression and sensitivity adjustment, and can detect targets as small as 0.5mm with response time […]
Ultrasonic, Thru-Beam Proximity Sensors
Ultrasonic, thru-beam proximity sensors for splice, label, and double sheet detection help detect errors, protect machinery, and avoid waste. Each sensor is 18 mm in diameter and has a teach-in input mode for easy set-up and operation, with a detection threshold that is easily adjustable for individual applications. They provide a sensing range from 20 […]
Weld Cap Sensors
TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs introduces WTS10 Weld Cap Sensors. These diffuse mode sensors check the quality of welding cap fronts and detects faults such as inclusions, faulty dressing or burrs. These sensors provide high stability against discrepancies in the position and angle of the welding cap. They check upper and lower welding caps simultaneously and […]
