Dec 15, 2011 Subminiature ML4.2 Series includes models with response times as fast as 250 µsec, multibeam redundant detection, independent outputs, and zero deadband sensing. Dual sensor redundant detection can detect transparent or glossy objects wrapped in foil or plastic. Precise sensing models include one sensor with visible red emitter that senses black and white color extremes at distances up to 20 and 21 mm from sensor, respectively. Retroreflective sensing and thru-beam models are also available.

RFID Read Head suits stand-alone and multi-drop applications.

Pepperl + Fuchs, Inc.    Twinsburg, OH 44087 2245
Dec 05, 2011 With read/write range up to 130 mm, IQT-F116-R4M-V1 RFID Read Head conforms to open 13.56 MHz ISO 15693 standard. Users can, in multi-drop applications, connect up to 30 RFID read heads together on one network and bring data back to PC or PLC. Two-wire RS485 connectivity and 200 mm M12 pigtail connectors facilitate connection and removal, while continuous read option, available for point-to-point applications, and low-profile design accommodate AGV use and shallow mounting conditions.

Photoelectric Sensors offer wide-beam reflector-less detection.

Pepperl + Fuchs, Inc.    Twinsburg, OH 44087 2245
Nov 22, 2011 Able to detect clear materials, very small objects over large area, and glossy materials without need for reflector, Series ML100-8-W is suited for material handling and packaging as well as assembly, automotive, and printing applications. Units feature multi-color LEDs that are visible from 360° for immediate sensor status detection. Resistant to ambient light, sensors include cross-talk protection and operate over extended temperatures of -22 to +140°F.

Rotational Measurement Sensors are user configurable.

Pepperl + Fuchs, Inc.    Twinsburg, OH 44087 2245
Oct 25, 2011 To satisfy rotational position and angular measurement requirements, PMI360DV series can be user-configured to provide 0°-90° to 0°-360° sensing. Rotational measurement sensors, available in 3 models, consist of multifunctional, inductive-based solutions with analog output. Angular measurement sensors let users set range and rotation direction, PNP output signal width, and zero position. Users benefit from voltage or current output with repeatable accuracy to 0.5° and resolution to 0.2°.

Position Feedback System utilizes data matrix technology.

Pepperl + Fuchs, Inc.    Twinsburg, OH 44087 2245
Sep 19, 2011 Featuring 2D, camera-based design, PosiTrack PCV provides continuous X-Y tracking and positioning feedback at speeds to 41 fps over distances up to 6 miles. Thin strips of adhesive-backed data matrix codes placed along carrier's travel path update movement with ±0.1 mm resolution. Scanner-to-code band separation up to 80 mm is typical, and ±15 mm axial movement tolerance means alignment variances have no affect on stability. Applications include AS/RS, overhead monorails, and rotary turntables.

Switch Amplifiers include line fault detection.

Pepperl + Fuchs, Inc.    Twinsburg, OH 44087 2245
Sep 09, 2011 With Line Fault Transparency, Switch Amplifiers enable users to simultaneously transfer switch and fault signals via single output. Models NIC2831 and HIC2832 are 1- and 2-channel units suitable for mounting on termination boards, while K-System KFD2-SOT2-EX1.N provides line fault transparency to control system in standard DIN rail mount configuration. Amplifiers provide comprehensive monitoring of field and control lines while minimizing amount of wiring required in hazardous areas.

Class II Power Supplies combine operational, spatial efficiency.

Pepperl + Fuchs, Inc.    Twinsburg, OH 44087 2245
