Thru-Beam Sensors withstand high-impact applications.

Self-contained BWL L-shaped Sensors have infrared emitter in zinc-plated steel housing that can resist multiple impacts without loss of function. IR light beam cuts through heavily contaminated air with ample reserve capacity. Three sizes are available, with optical axes ranging from 22-42 mm. Sealed to IP67, one-piece plug-and-play sensors feature pre-aligned optics. Maximum response time is 0.5...

Inductive Sensor/Connector measures 3 mm in diameter.

Inductive Sensor/Connector measures 3 mm in diameter.

Available in shielded and unshielded versions, sensor uses integral flush fitting and offers respective sensing distances of 1 and 3 mm for ferrous metals. Sensor size facilitates multiple sensor installations where sensors must be positioned as close as 6 mm to each other, such as gripper, semiconductor, and electronic industry applications. Other applications include embedded installations,...

Inductive Proximity Sensors suit welding applications.

Factor 1(TM) Sensors incorporate multi-coil design that enables them to sense both ferrous and non-ferrous metals at same distance. They are inherently weld field-immune to 100 kA/m, so they are unaffected by high levels of magnetic interference from transformers, motors, drives, or welders. TeflonÂ-® coating on housing and end cap helps protect sensors from weld slag and weld flash. Series...

Laser Sensor measures distances or objects up to 6 m.

Time-of-flight sensor, Model BOD 63M bounces Class II laser beam off objects to determine distance or length by measuring amount of time light takes to reflect back to sensor. Resolution is constant across distance beam travels, allowing it to detect objects as small as 1 mm, regardless of target's reflective properties. Models are available with one PNP or NPN output, alarm output, and one 0-10...
