Top Solutions Despite Tight Budgets: V180-2 Cylindrical Photoelectric Switches
The new V180-2 series of photoelectric switches in easy-installation M18 cylindrical housings offers rapid selection, rapid installation and rapid use. Designed for tightly budgeted price-sensitive applications, the series provides an extraordinary price/performance ratio. Three scanner versions, a reflex variant and a through-beam system ensure ideal availability, maximum functional reserves and there-fore economical solutions for universal conditions of use - e.g. in handling and ware-housing systems, or packaging machines.
The V180-2 series of cylindrical photoelectric switches is positioned in the market as a trouble-free, reasonably priced solution for object detection. The variety of types concentrates upon the most important aspects and allows rapid and application-oriented selection of the suitable sen-sor. Decisions regarding the three scanner versions are based upon the required range: 100 mm, 400 mm or 800 mm. The photoelectric reflex switch with polarisation filter offers first-class results at a range of 4 m in all environmental conditions. The through-beam photoelectric switch, with its range of 20 m, is the solution for long object distances. Dynamic processes, in particular, in which objects must be detected at high speeds, profit from the short response times of all V180-2 devices.
Brilliantly universal
In addition to reliable object detection, all devices meet many users' important additional auto-mation requirements. Thanks to the widespread M18 design, they are rapidly installed; they are easily aligned with the help of the bright, red transmission LED; and, with two LEDs and a 360° display, offer optimum visualisation of operating states. In economic terms, restricting type vari-ety and device features to the most important leads to an attractive price/performance ratio.
The V180-2 is therefore in many ways the perfect cost-efficient solution...
