Optical distance sensors come out on top
The F90 series of high performance optical distance measuring laser sensors feature optimum resolution and very attractive pricing to open up many more applications.
The F90 series of high performance optical distance measuring laser sensors feature optimum resolution and very attractive pricing to open up many more applications in automation and production processes Richard Taylor, UK Sales Director at Sensopart explains: "We have concentrated our development efforts into producing a technically advanced optical sensor that delivers a 1mm resolution in measurement, but costs a fraction of competing units"

Sensor talks to PLCs
Sensopart's ultra compact F20 series sensor with teach in can now talk direct to machine PLCs.
Four models are available, the FT90 series capable of measuring objects up to 10m and the FR90 with a range up to 250m.
Both deliver 1mm resolution.
The FT91 and FR91 are low-cost options.
The sensors offer a four choices of output - analogue milliamp or SSI compatible interface, two PNP digital and RS422 - and can also be connected to external bus systems while operating with a class 1 infra-red laser.
F90 series sensors have fast response times, beating their rivals in many applications.
Free software also allows customers to program, store and read data directly from the sensor.
This feature makes the installing of duplicate sensors within systems extremely easy, an option normally only offered on high cost equivalents.
One of the many key market developments for these high cost/performance ratio sensor is the detection of objects in populated areas, where an employee may be startled or distracted by a visible red laser spot.
The F90 sensors use infra-red and are totally safe.
However, a visible red light pilot laser can be activated during the setting process to help alignment.
