Pepperl+Fuchs ML4.2 Series Subminiature Photoelectric Sensors have faster response times, multi-beam redundant detection, independent outputs and zero deadband sensing. The newest ML4.2 high-speed models offer 250 µs response time, half the time of the standard ML4.2 models. ML4.2 dual sensor redundant detection models have dual light beams from two emitter LEDs that reflect light to two […]

Multi-Pixel Array Sensors Increase Sensing Distance up to Three Times
Compared to similarly sized sensors, Pepperl+Fuchs RL31-8-H-800 multi-pixel array sensors can sense up to three times further away from the target. The sensors use an ultra high-intensity emitter called PowerBeam that provides a visible and uniform light spot, even on dark and dull black materials, to simplify sensor alignment and detection. With extremely low sensitivity […]
Getting the Right Harsh Environment Photoelectric Sensor
Diffuse Contrast Sensor Operates within 50 µs
Print mark detection in high-speed packaging and printing operations requires a rapid response sensor. Baumer’s FKDK 14 diffuse contrast sensor uses a white LED to precisely detect print marks within a response time of 50 µs. With the white light source, the photoelectric sensor can reliably detect print marks of all colors, even with slight […]
Sensing Print Mark Detection
TRI-TRONICS MARK•EYE PRO sensor has a 45-µs response time and high immunity to ambient light. Using the broadband characteristics of a white light LED, the sensor achieves high-resolution for detecting the greatest variety of color combinations on any color background. With the sensor’s “One-Touch” AUTOSET, setup simply involves putting the background in view, pressing the […]

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 […]
