TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs Dura-Vue™ MLV12 Series Photoelectric Sensors are now available in diffuse mode with background evaluation. Dura-Vue background evaluation sensors provide a sensing range from 50 mm to 150 mm, with a 4 mm light spot that enables these sensors to detect even the smallest targets. They are engineered to detect all targets […]
Non-Contact Photoelectric Level Sensors
Southington, Conn. – For a range of liquid level detection applications in laboratory automation, medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, beverage processing and other industries, Baumer has introduced the FFDK 16 Photoelectric Level Sensors, compact sensors designed to be mounted onto transparent or half-transparent standpipes from 3 to 13 mm in diameter. These easy to mount, non-contact […]
SICK’s W15 Photoelectric Sensors
Minneapolis, MN – SICK announces the launch of its W15 Photoelectric Sensors. These high-performance sensors use SICK’s third generation custom ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) chip that incorporates OES3 technology to provide exceptional background suppression at an extended range. OES3 technology enables the W15 to ignore stray background reflections, detect multi-colored/shiny objects without false trips, and […]
Long Range Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor
Buffalo Grove, IL – Carlo Gavazzi launches a new long range diffuse photoelectric sensor with background suppression technology. The new PD112 will detect black objects at distances up to 2 meters, and white and grey objects at up to 2.5 meters. Using triangulation technology, the PD112 can be easily and precisely adjusted, with a 28 […]
Multi-Drop Photoelectric Communication Sensor
Tampa, FL : Tri-Tronics Company Inc has introduced a patented, high performance, photoelectric communication sensor that provides users with complete remote control…from an onboard HMI, or from a central plant control station. The new state-of-the-art SMARTEYE® X-PRO MODEL XPC was designed for applications where it is critical to monitor and configure machines for local or […]
Series 4050 Photoelectric sensors with highly effective background suppression
New Contrinex Series 4050 photoelectric sensors with considerably improved background suppression are built into a 40 x 50 x 15 mm housing and excel by their long operating distance of 500 mm, with a setting range from 20 to 500 mm. The operating distance is independent of the target color, shape or surface structure, and […]
