Micro Photoelectric Sensors suit hygienic applications.
Press Release Summary:
Miniature photoelectric sensors of VSM Series provide alternative to proximity sensors and optical fibers in high-flex environments. Products have sapphire lens, resist chemicals and cutting fluids, and function in heavy washdown environments. Supplied in threaded or smooth, 4 mm barrel with 300 series stainless steel or in flat-pack side-looking housing, sensors have convergent optical design and offer repeatable sensing range of 10, 20, 50, or 90 mm and up to 250 mm as through beam.

VSM Series Micro Sensors Provide Inspection Solution for Hygienic Applications
Minneapolis, MN-Banner Engineering Corp. introduces the VSM Series Micro Sensors, a cost-effective series of miniature photoelectric sensors that deliver high-performance in a compact package. The VSM Series sensors provide an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications in a number of different industries, specifically those requiring smooth, hygienic designs such as food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals. Other applications include die sensing, part presence verification and assembly machines with articulated or reciprocating motion.
"The VSM Series sensors are an important addition to our line of miniature photoelectric sensors, not only because of their size, but also because of their ability to function in heavy washdown environments that use a variety of liquids and chemicals," said Mike Dean, Product Planning Director at Banner Engineering. "Another advantage is that the VSM Series sensors provide an alternative to proximity sensors and optical fibers in high-flex environments, making them a versatile sensor for our customers."
VSM Series sensors are housed in a choice of a threaded or smooth, self-contained 4 mm barrel with 300 series stainless steel, or in flat-pack side-looking housing, making them easy to clean. Equipped with a sapphire lens, the sensors are able to resist a wide variety of chemicals and cutting fluids.
Featuring an advanced convergent optical design, the VSM Series sensors provide a repeatable sensing range with models available with a 10, 20, 50 or 90 mm sensing range, and up to 250 mm as a through beam. A narrow, well-focused sensing beam allows the entire sensor to be recessed into the fixture (excluding the 50 mm range model).
