These sensors provide high-speed, precise process monitoring and inspection, profiling and web-guiding applications such as package and baggage sizing on material handling conveyors, profiling/positioning of packages or material in process, web edge guiding, log diameter measurement and carpet to nap edge detection.
Pepperl+Fuchs MLE76100-8-H-100-RT/59/115/136 background suppression sensor
17 August, 2011The MLE76100-8-H-100-RT/59/115/136 background suppression sensor has a hygienic design suitable for the food and beverage industry.
Banner Engineering TM18 EZ-Beam compact photoelectric sensor
16 August, 2011 byBanner Engineering’s TM18 EZ-Beam compact photoelectric sensor is designed for use in heavy-duty environments. The TM18 offers a nickel-plated, die-cast zinc metal housing, as well as completely epoxy encapsulated electronics. Rated IP69K, the TM18 provides durability and resistance in harsh sensing environments, especially in high-pressure washdown applications. Featuring a compact, right-angle shape, an 18 mm threaded barrel mount and integral all-metal M12 quick disconnect, the TM18 sensor has the ability to fit in tight places and avoid sensor damage during machine assembly, transport, maintenance and operation.
ifm efector T, R and C series full-metal inductive sensors
02 August, 2011 byifm has developed three series of full-metal sensors to meet different challenging requirements. The sensors can withstand a high temperature range up to 100°C, have a protection rating of IP69K and feature a non-stick coating or a correction factor of K=0.
Balluff Q40 multi-metal inductive proximity sensor
15 July, 2011 byThe Balluff Q40 inductive proximity sensor provides sensing ranges up to 40 mm in a small housing, with weld field immunity and the ability to sense aluminium and steel at the same distance. Each sensor head can be mounted in five positions and has highly visible corner LEDs. The connector outlet is also adjustable within a 270° range.
Balluff BKT 67M contrast sensors
14 July, 2011 byBalluff’s BKT 67M contrast sensors are claimed to detect even the slightest contrast differences in challenging packaging applications. These sensors are specifically designed for fast and reliable print-mark detection.
Pepperl+Fuchs UMC3000 ultrasonic washdown sensors
13 July, 2011 byThe UMC3000 ultrasonic sensor has a seamless, 100% stainless steel housing and chemically resistant cable system to enable ultrasonic monitoring and control in areas previously considered impossible.
ifm efector LMT Series level sensor
12 July, 2011 byThe LMT Series level sensor can be used as a suitable alternative to tuning-fork level sensors that are prone to false signalling.
Banner Engineering R58B Series registration mark sensor
05 July, 2011 byThe R58B Series registration mark sensor from Banner Engineering provides the same performance detection and colour contrast sensitivity of the R58E, but with the addition of a simplified teach process. Teach is performed quickly via a single-click on the teach push-button on the sensor or via remote input. The teach button allows the sensor to ‘learn’ the light and dark sensing conditions, based on user inputs, and then can automatically adjust the sensitivity to place the operating threshold midway between threshold for the light and dark condition.
