Wenglor photoelectric sensors from AutomationDirect
AutomationDirect has added a new line of laser sensors. Wenglor dark and shiny object detection photoelectric sensors use blue light technology to detect objects other photoelectric sensors cannot see or see objects that get detected multiple times erroneously. They come in either 50x20x50mm or 32x12x16mm body sizes with an M12 or M8 quick-disconnect. These sensors […]
ProSense inductive proximity sensors from AutomationDirect
AutomationDirect has added a variety of new ProSense inductive proximity sensors to their portfolio. Added are 8mm triple-sensing inductive proximity sensors in flush and non-flush mounting options, which can detect ferrous metals up to a distance of 6mm. Also new are inductive proximity sensors with a metal face to provide more durable protection, with environmental […]
8mm photoelectric, inductive proximity and capacitive proximity sensors
AutomationDirect has added several small sensors to the proximity sensor lineup. New rectangular 8mm x 16mm inductive proximity sensors are available in flush and non-flush mounting options, NO or NC outputs as well as NPN or PNP logic. The new 8mm round capacitive proximity sensors are able to detect materials other than metal, in a […]
Metrol High Precision Limit Switches from AutomationDirect
AutomationDirect has added more options for high precision limit switches from Metrol. High-temperature precision limit switches have been added that provide a 10-micron accuracy and are rated for temperatures of up to 200° C. New high-vacuum resistance limit switches are high precision with an accuracy of 10 microns as well and are designed to be […]
Contrinex DW series Proximity Sensors from AutomationDirect
New models of Contrinex DW series round proximity sensors are offered in barrel sizes from 8mm to 30mm. Flush and non-flush mount models are available with standard or extended sensing distances, with complete overload protection. These IP67-rated sensors are made of nickel-plated brass or 304 stainless steel. PNP models are IO Link compatible and are […]
AutomationDirect adds sanitary 3-A versions of RTDs and transmitter probes
The AutomationDirect process control temperature sensor lineup now includes RTD versions of the M12 connection transmitters, transmitter versions of the RTDs without process connection, and sanitary 3-A versions of RTDs and transmitter probes. ProSense Pt100 RTD sensors and transmitters with sanitary connection probes offer a clean-in-place tri-clamp process connection suitable for applications where corrosion and […]
IDEM non-contact guard locking RFID coded safety switches
IDEM non-contact RFID coded safety switches from AutomationDirect are designed to provide interlock protection on hinged, sliding, or removable guard doors. These switches are particularly advantageous when poor guard alignment exists, when high-level anti-tamper is required, where high-hygiene requirements exist, (food industry hose down applications) or where long mechanical life is required. When used in […]
AutomationDirect adds capacitive pushbutton sensor switches and indicators
Captron SENSORswitches are capacitive pushbuttons which are activated without pressure, using a hand or other parts of the body. The buttons have a determinate sensing distance, which may be altered by varying the approach speed and/or damping factor. A quickly approaching finger will achieve a higher sensing distance than a slowly approaching finger. A hand, […]
Wenglor 50 x 50mm rectangular photoelectric sensors from AutomationDirect
Wenglor rectangular 50 x 50 x 20mm photoelectric sensors from AutomationDirect include diffuse with background suppression, retroreflective, retroreflective for transparent objects, and through-beam models. The popular size of these Wenglor sensors makes them suitable as drop-in replacements for other higher-cost rectangular photoelectric sensor brands. Sensing ranges vary from 1200mm for background suppression sensors to 20m […]
