Photoelectric Sensor Targets Harsh Environments

August 10, 2011 By Randy Frank Leave a Comment

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 to a variety of targets, the photoelectric sensor is available in opposed, polarized retroreflective, diffuse and fixed-field (background suppression) modes.

The unit has a right angle shape, an 18-mm threaded barrel mount and integral all metal M12 quick disconnect. Its metal housing provides the sensor immunity to electro-magnetic noise and improved ability to withstand interference from fluorescent lamps.
