Claiming the first photoelectric light barrier to operate without a separate reflector or receiver, Baumer’s SmartReflect light barriers have several features. The devices create a closed light beam between the sensor and any background for reliable detection of target objects regardless of color, shape, transparency or surface texture. Substitution of any machine part in the […]

Getting the Right Harsh Environment Photoelectric Sensor
Photoelectric Sensor Targets Harsh Environments
Banner Engineering Corp. repackaged its TM18 EZ-BEAM photoelectric sensor for use in heavy duty environments. With its nickel-plated, die-cast zinc metal housing and completely epoxy encapsulated electronics, the TM18 achieves an IP69K rating. This design provides the durability and resistance for harsh industrial sensing environments, such as those with high pressure washdowns. For easy alignment […]
Vision Sensor Reads Linear and Data Matrix Codes
With its Sharpshooter ID vision sensor, Balluff now has an ID version designed to read a large range of linear bar codes and 2D Data Matrix codes, as well as optical character verification (OCV). The vision sensor can read more than 10 types of linear bar codes, including PDF417 and 2D Data Matrix codes. The […]
The Object of Pepperl+Fuchs Newest Photoelectric Sensors is Clear
That is clear object detection. GLV18 Series photoelectric sensors with Clear Object Detection use reflectors to detect transparent objects up to 2.5 m away, or opaque objects up to 5 m away. Offered in an industry-standard M18 threaded cylindrical housing, the sensor is up to 50% shorter. In addition, the company claims the power consumption […]
Photoelectric Sensor Includes Suppression Sensors
Users looking to standardize on a mid-sized block style photoelectric sensor need to search no further than the BOS 23K sensor family from Balluff. Featuring the conventional sensing modes of diffuse, retro-reflective, and thru-beam, the BOS 23K also includes background suppression sensors, thus making it suitable as a “go-to” family for all of your sensing […]
OG Series Photoelectric Sensors from ifm efector
EXTON, PA – ifm efector inc. introduces the new OG Series photoelectric sensors for washdown applications. The industry standard 18 mm diameter housings are 316 stainless steel and designed for food and beverage applications. The OG’s zero-leak design prevents ingress during high pressure cleaning and steam cleaning. The Ecolab-certified sensors are chemically compatible with industrial […]
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 […]
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 […]
