Plastic bodies cut price of photo sensors
Carlo Gavazzi has launched a new range of photo sensors in M18 housings, significantly lower in price thanks to the use of rugged plastic bodies rather than metal
The complete line is available in IP67 protection degree and has extreme high EMC performance, which will secures a safe and reliable operation in applications where high electromagnetic disturbance fields occur such as near motors and communication towers.
The new range is available in three categories: basic ultrasonic sensors, ultrasonic sensors with teach-in configuration setup and finally, ultrasonic sensors with Windows based software for applications where specific settings, such as ambient suppression, of surroundings or other kind of application specific settings are required.
The latest microprocessor technology is designed into all three ultrasonic sensor categories, which secures easy synchronisation of sensors for applications where two or more sensors are required.
Both the teach-in configuration algorithm, and Windows based software programming in both cases ensure easy sensor setup.
Distance measuring and object detection can be carried out in the range of 100 to 8000mm depending on sensor type.
The two common sensing principles, diffuse and through-scan, are available, and neither of them is influenced sensor performance, based on either principle, is unaffected by the objects' colour, material composition or the objects ambient surroundings, such as light, smoke or steam.
As always, sensor design and production emphasis is with the quality, meeting or exceeding the requirements of ISO 9001as well as fulfilling CE, UL and CSA standards.
