Balluff’s new family of flat pack compact photoelectric sensors provide a powerful solution for demanding environments and industries with space restrictions. The sensors, which include a stainless-steel housing, are resistant to aggressive cleaning agents, chemicals, coolants or other media and meet the requirements for packaging, food & beverage industries. “The new flat pack photoelectric family […]
Smart photoelectric sensor from Balluff is easily configured via IO-Link
Generating, transporting and processing information are central tasks in the Industry 4.0 environment. The basis for all this information is intelligent sensors which provide the required input. With its new BOS 21M ADCAP, Balluff has created a smart photoelectric sensor. The versatile all-rounder uses red light and lets you choose from among four sensor modes: background […]
Optical sensors for longer operating distances
With the R200 and R201 designs, the product design of photoelectric sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs enables applications with longer operating distances. Just like the compact R100, R101, and R103 series, both new products consistently offer all photoelectric functional principles in a design that is now larger and suitable for specific mounting situations. Usability is intuitive and […]
How can touch-free sensing protect public health?
Many communicable diseases, such as viruses and bacterial infections, are transmitted by direct contact with a person who has the disease or with something that person touched. Avoiding contact is an obvious way to prevent spreading diseases. Touch-free sensors allow many frequently accessed functions in restrooms, such as automatic hands-free urinal and toilet flush, hands-free […]
IR sensing workshop to cover IR detectors, sources and filters, instrument subsystem designs, spectroscopy and sensing
LASER COMPONENTS USA, specialized provider of laser and photoelectronic components in the US and Canada, announces that it will sponsor the 4th International WORKshop on Infrared Technologies for a broad audience of leading IR experts. The event will take place at Arizona State University on November 8 – 9, 2017 in Tempe, AZ, USA. Based […]
Data transmission photoelectric sensor for location-independent remote diagnosis
Leuze electronic presents a genuine innovation with the new DDLS 500 data transmission photoelectric sensor: all relevant data of the DDLS 500 can be called up using remote diagnostics. The data transmission photoelectric sensor links Ethernet networks using optical data transmission with a bandwidth of 100Mbits/s and is thus part of the central network component. […]
Long range door and gate photoelectric sensors
Carlo Gavazzi’s new PD140 Series Long Range Photoelectric Sensors is a product line targeted for Door and Gate Access applications. This sensor handles challenges found in the door and gate industry. The design of the PD140 makes it a suitable choice for harsh outdoor use, where strong ambient light, fog, rain, snow, and dust, might […]
Ruggedized Sensor Packaging
One way to improve a successful sensor and expand its applications is design the package for more demanding environments. This was the goal for Carlo Gavazzi’s PD30ET Series of IP69K Stainless Steel Photoelectric Sensors. With AISI316L stainless steel housings, an IP69K environmental rating and ECOLAB certification, the sensors can operate reliably in applications exposed to […]
Solving tougher sensing requirements in industrial applications
by Randy Frank, Contributing Editor Manufacturers are tackling more difficult—and unique—design problems with the newest generation of sensors. Getting serious consideration for a design-in involves meeting all of the required specifications. This is true for all applications. However, industrial is one marketplace where the specifications can be classified into usual (or typical or standard) and […]
Compact yet Tough Photoelectric Sensors
Giving up ruggedness for size is usually not a good tradeoff. SICK PowerProx photoelectric sensors avoid this compromise and provide reliable detection over long sensing ranges in a compact form factor. The sensor’s time-of-flight laser scanning technology with Class 1 eye-safe lasers can reliably detect fast-moving objects, small and flat objects, and dark or shiny […]
