Photoelectric sensors shrink into small
spaces
The new Datasensor SM series offers a complete range of tough IP67 subminiature amplified photoelectric sensors specifically designed for use in small spaces.
The new Datasensor SM series offers a complete range of tough IP67 subminiature amplified photoelectric sensors specifically designed for use in small spaces or in the presence of particular mechanical obstacles, where the installation of larger sensors is impossible The extremely compact dimensions do not limit the sensing capabilities that are suitable for most applications on automatic machinery for packaging, assembling, printing and vending

New 18mm sensors with laser emission
New 18mm sensors with laser emission promise a bright future The market place for 18mm cylindrical optos has always been considered to be extremely competitive.
Three different versions of SM are available, each of which is designed to fulfil different functions.
SM1 models are 20mm fixed-focus proximity units that, thanks to the thin housing with lateral optics, represent a valid alternative to fibre-optic systems, without the need of additional amplifiers.
SM2, a sensor with postage stamp dimensions with a thickness of less than 5mm, offers both 30mm fixed-focus proximity as well as through-beam optics reaching 1.2m.
SM3 models also present a miniature housing with lateral optics and feature a 50cm coaxial polarised retroreflex optic or a 1.2m through-beam optic function.
To facilitate easy setup, all the SM series have visible red emission and do not require adjustment.
There are two signalling LEDs provided on the sensor, a green LED that signals power on and a yellow LED that indicates stability and output condition.
