Photoelectric Sensors Offer Application Advantages

December 27, 2011 By Randy Frank Leave a Comment

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 receivers.  Compared with single beam sensing, the redundant light beam enables more reliable sensing of transparent or glossy objects that are foil or plastic-wrapped.

For more information about Pepperl+Fuchs ML4.2 Series Subminiature Photoelectric Sensors, click here for high speed models or here for dual sensor redundant detection models.
