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.
There are two models of diffuse proximity sensors: one with 10-100mm fixed operating distance and the other with 10-300mm adjustable operating distance.
Standard retroreflective models have an operating distance up to 3m and the polarised retroreflective models used for reliable detection of reflective objects are fitted with sensitivity adjustment and have a 2m maximum operating distance.
The emitter and receiver models, used for longer operating distances, reach 12m.
The S51 series sensors come with cable and M12 connector, providing a three-wire connection configuration in compliance with the EN60947-5-2 standard, with the normally open output on pin 4, regardless of optical function.
The output mode can be inverted using the dark/light selection input wire provided.
