Photoelectric Sensors use frame adapter for installation.

Press Release Summary:




With plastic frame adapter, Series 14 can be installed without screws or tools. Once snapped into adapter, sensors are inserted into 1.75 x 5.4 cm recess in steel sheet. Two plastic clamps secure adapter in cut-out and sensors are mounted tightly. Sensors cannot be readjusted or shifted accidentally, but can be dismounted for servicing. Adapter fits all Series 14 sensors, including diffuse, retro-reflective, and LED-based distance sensors.

Novel Frame Adapter - Mounting Sensors with a Double Click



Quick and efficient installation without mounting angles

Sensor is mounted tightly and securely in the recess in a steel sheet

Suitable for all Series 14 sensors

Easy to dismount

Baumer introduces a new clever accessory for its Series 14 photoelectric sensors: a novel frame adapter. This plastic adapter allows for a simple installation of the sensors without the use of screws or tools. They are mounted with just two clicks - quickly and efficiently.

In many applications several photoelectric sensors are employed along a conveyer belt. In these cases it is time-consuming to screw and adjust every single sensor. Additionally, special mounting angles are often necessary. Now a recess in the steel sheet of 1.75 x 5.4 cm is sufficient to install a Series 14 sensor with the frame adapter. The sensor only has to be snapped into the adapter and together this unit is inserted into the cut-out. Two plastic clamps secure the adapter in the cut-out and the sensor is mounted tightly and securely. This installation saves the user time and he can forego additional, often expensive mounting angles. Likewise, the sensor cannot be re-adjusted or shifted accidentally. Nevertheless, when the sensor needs to be serviced it can be dismounted quickly.

The unique frame adapter fits all Series 14 sensors from Baumer, such as diffuse sensors with background suppression, retro-reflective sensors, or the new LED-based distance sensors.
