Photoelectric Sensors
Manufacturer: Contrinex
Category: Photoelectric Sensors
A reflex, or reflective, photoelectric sensor contains a transmitter and a receiver in a single housing, and emits a pulsed, focused light beam toward a distant reflector. Reflected light returns to the sensor, arriving at the receiver. When a target object interrupts
the light beam, the receiver detects the reduced light intensity and triggers the sensor. The relatively high level of reflected light allows reflex sensors to achieve sensing distances up to eight meters.
For applications where the target object itself reflects light back toward the sensor, models with polarization filters are available. The filters ensure that only light returned from the reflector reaches the receiver, ensuring reliable detection, even with reflective targets.
Photoelectric Cylindrical Subminiature
Compact, rugged and highly reliable, Contrinex M18 photoelectric sensors are ideal for demanding industrial environments, including automotive assembly, packaging machinery, conveyor systems and general automation equipment. A comprehensive range comprises diffuse sensors (both energetic and background-suppression variants), reflex sensors and through-beam sensors with the option of either axial or lateral sensing.
Photoelectric Cylindrical Miniature
Contrinex M12 photoelectric sensors provide market-leading performance and reliability in a rugged miniature package that ensures excellent resistance to shock and accidental impact. Best-in-class sensing distances are achieved utilizing through-beam, diffuse or polarized reflex sensing principles, with the 1120L laser through-beam sensor suitable for extended sensing ranges up to 50 meters.
Photoelectric Cylindrical Small
Compact, rugged and highly reliable, Contrinex M18 photoelectric sensors are ideal for demanding industrial environments, including automotive assembly, packaging machinery, conveyor systems and general automation equipment. A comprehensive range comprises diffuse sensors (both energetic and background-suppression variants), reflex sensors and through-beam sensors with the option of either axial or lateral sensing.
Photoelectric Cubic Subminiature
The Cubic Subminiature range of diffuse sensors packs exceptional position- and presence-sensing performance into the smallest self-contained photoelectric sensors on the market. With a 5mm x 7mm stainless-steel housing and a narrowly focused, cylindrical light beam, these sensors are suitable for vertical or horizontal mounting directly on the supporting surface. Best-in-class sensing distances of up to 90 mm allow them to be positioned at a safe distance from the target.
Photoelectric Cubic Miniature
The world-class performance of Contrinex photoelectric sensors combined with industry-standard rugged Crastin® molded-resin housings delivers exceptional reliability in an almost indestructible package. Ideal for applications where space is tight, the 30mm x 30mm x 15mm body is unobtrusive and allows sensing distances up to 12 meters. Available technologies include diffuse sensing (with both energetic and background-suppression variants), polarized reflex sensing and through-beam sensing. Best-in-class background suppression allows ultra-reliable target detection, even against light backgrounds.
Photoelectric Cubic Small
Contrinex 4050 and 4150 compact photoelectric sensors allow sensing distances up to 50 meters thanks to a choice of diffuse (energetic or background-suppression), polarized reflex or through-beam technologies. Insensitive to high levels of ambient light, and available with glass or coated-plastic windows, 4050 and 4150 models are ideal for industrial applications including packaging and wrapping machinery, filling systems and general automated equipment. Best-in-class background suppression allows ultra-reliable target detection, even against light backgrounds.
Photoelectric Cubic Compact
Designed from the outset to be cost-competitive without compromising performance, Contrinex 5050 photoelectric sensors pack an exceptional range of features into industry-standard 50mm x 50mm x 18mm housings. Equipped with a shatter-resistant PMMA acrylic-glass sensing face, the 5050 is at home in the most demanding environments including packaging and filling lines, conveyor systems and the machine tool industry.
Description
Photoelectric sensors work with light, which results in long operating distances. They detect conducting and non-conducting materials, and are best suited for adaption to specific applications.
