Ultrasonic sensor sets up in seconds
The S18U Series of compact ultrasonic sensors features an advanced microprocessor design, pushbutton programming and bright diagnostic status LEDs located directly on the sensor housing.
Luminescence sensors aren't fooled by colour
The QL50 and QL55 self-contained luminescence sensors use a modulated ultraviolet LED to scan for luminescence in materials, and are not affected by colour or contrast shifts.
Available in opposed, retroreflective, polarised retroreflective and fixed-field modes, the sensor is capable of sensing ranges up to 2m.
Installation in confined or otherwise challenging locations is simplified with robust, metal-sleeved side mounting holes consistently located on all models as well as an assortment of available brackets.
Pricing starts at a low $70.00.
"The sheer number of sensor choices available to users today is downright confusing".
"Our World-Beam Series sensor family is designed to offer a common platform and simplify the user's sensor selection with the Q12 satisfying the need for a miniature product solution", said Chris Dales, Research and Development Product Planning Manager for Banner Engineering.
With its miniature size and broad range of available operating modes, World-Beam Q12 Series photoelectric sensors are ideal for a wide variety of applications in the materials handling, packaging, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, document handling and assembly industries.
The ultraminiature World-Beam Q12 Series sensors measure just 22 x 8 x 12mm.
All units feature solid-state bipolar outputs, one current sourcing (PNP) and one current sinking (NPN).
World-Beam Series sensors from Banner deliver a universal solution for sensor users who demand a wide range of available sensing modes.
They are easy-to-apply, easy-to-use sensors that resist environmental contamination from moisture, dirt, EMI/RFI and crosstalk.
