Thru-Beam Sensors feature self-contained design.April 14, 2009 -
Offered in 4 basic frame designs, UltraFrame(TM) Sensors are available with visible red, pinpoint visible red, visible red laser, and high-power infrared light sources. One-piece housings contain both emitter and receiver elements with pre-aligned optics, eliminating fiber optic cable and routing of multiple power cords. Equipped with on-board sensitivity and light/dark operation controls, sensors are suited for error-proofing, process monitoring, and general automation tasks.

Balluff UltraFrame(TM) Sensors - The Thru-Beam Solution to Use First
Florence, KY (March 2009): Balluff's UltraFrame(TM) series is the latest in self-contained thru-beam sensor technology and is designed to solve problems many other sensors cannot. Offering reliable performance in an innovative package, these sensors are the first ones to use in error-proofing, process monitoring, and general automation tasks in a number of environments. With the broadest selection of sizes, shapes, and light sources available today, there is an UltraFrame sensor waiting to provide a solution to your application that will save you time, money, and headaches.
The UltraFrame sensors' one piece housings contain both emitter and receiver elements with pre-aligned optics, providing easy installation and an end to misalignment nuisances. This means no more fiber optic cable hassles or routing of multiple power cords. On-board sensitivity and light/dark operation controls provide for easy adjustment to your process.
Available in four basic frame designs, these sensors have multiple sizes to choose from. Up to four application-specific light sources are also available to suit your design requirements, including: visible red (easy set up), pinpoint visible red (higher precision), visible red laser (highest precision), and high-power infrared (burns through accumulated dirt). With this level of flexibility, UltraFrame sensors are simply the ones to use first.
