Rockwell Automation has released two new ranges of light array photoelectric sensors – the Allen-Bradley 45DLA discrete light array sensors and 45MLA measuring light array sensors.
Both ranges utilise optical synchronisation, and boast one of the smallest profiles on the market, making them ideal for a wide variety of applications, claims Rockwell Automation.
According to the company’s component area manager, Irma Napolitano, light array sensors represent a growing area for the company.
“The 45DLA and 45MLA sensor families will extend the scope of the company’s capabilities and complement our existing solutions,” she said.
“Furthermore, they will reinforce to the end-user that Rockwell Automation is a ‘one-stop shop’ for sensing requirements.”
The 45DLA is a discrete on-off light array sensor with 30mm resolution and integrated controller. Comprising five models—with sensing heights varying from 118 to 734mm and a sensing range of up to 8m—these sensors are designed for applications where products of different sizes, positions or orientation need to be detected.
