Photoelectric Sensors utilize ASIC technology.
Press Release Summary:
ELF Series consists of 3 versions: reflex retro-reflective, background suppression, and energetic models. Background suppression and energetic diffuse models have detection ranges up to 50 and 100 mm, respectively. Background suppression model suppresses interference caused by moving or reflective objects in background. Sensors offer light immunity and include reverse polarity, overload, and short circuit protection.
Original Press Release:
Economical, Little, Functional SICK's New ELF Series of Photoelectric Sensors Low Price, Fast Delivery - Guaranteed
SICK's new ELF is the material handling and packaging industry wonder-sensor. This little ELF can sense your application and budget problems and perform sheer magic, blazing a new path for low-cost high performance photoelectric sensors. The ELF is everything you have come to expect from larger sensors and more, for less.
The revolutionary ELF photoelectric sensor is guaranteed to be the most competitively priced industrial photoelectric sensor available in the market today. State-of-the-art ASIC technology and creative engineering make ELF one of the smallest sensors in the industry.
Starting in February 2003, SICK, Inc. guarantees that any order of 100 pieces or less placed at www.sickusa.com will ship within the next two business days, or the ELF sensors are free! Please see our web site for complete details.
Three versions of the ELF are available: reflex retro-reflective, background suppression and energetic versions. The background suppression and energetic diffuse models have detection ranges up to 50 mm and 100 mm respectively. The background suppression model easily suppresses interference caused by moving or reflective objects in the background. Furthermore, objects are reliably detected regardless of their surface colors or reflectivity.
In addition to the small size, the ELF is packed with functionality including light immunity, reverse polarity protection, overload protection, and short circuit protection. Advanced LED technology and unsurpassed optical engineering arms the ELF with optical performance not offered by any other sensor in its class.
The ELF can be installed almost anywhere with two different orientations and standard 18 mm mounting hardware. The ELF is the best choice for typical applications such as presence detection in packaging machines, conveyor lines, bin controls, vending machines and hands-free systems.
