Small sensors are big on features

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 26, 2006

Small but highly competent, the new ML7 range of sensors is designed to offer solutions for the ever more demanding world of automation.

Small but highly competent, the new ML7 range of sensors is designed to offer solutions for the ever more demanding world of automation.

As machines and components get smaller so must the sensors fitted and increasing sensor density can lead to mutual interference.

The ML7 range automatically adjusts itself to compensate for interference and a teach input button speeds up and simplifies the setting up process.

Highly resistant to extraneous light sources the ML7 has a host of features you would only expect to see on much larger (and more expensive) sensors.
