SLA Sensor

The SLA family combines a compact aluminum housing with dependable optical performance for Pantron infrared photoelectric systems. These sensor heads are designed for installations where mounting space is limited, stable alignment is important, and resistance to dirt and demanding plant conditions is essential. Receivers include an integrated preamplifier with daylight compensation, while the front-facing beam geometry supports straightforward mounting and adjustment.

Series Overview

The SLA series includes transmitters and receivers for Pantron infrared photoelectric systems and is suitable for all amplifier families except ISL. Each sensing channel requires one transmitter and one receiver. Transmitters are offered in standard, high-power, and ITA versions to support a wide range of application requirements.

Its rectangular aluminum body is well suited for wall mounting and machine integration where a low-profile package is preferred. With strong contamination tolerance, dependable signal transmission, and front-facing beam direction, the SLA family is a practical fit for conveyors, machinery, packaging systems, wash environments, and other demanding industrial installations.

Highlights

  • Rectangular aluminum housing measuring 60 × 12 × 12 mm.
  • Available as standard, HP, and ITA transmitter versions.
  • Receiver with built-in preamplifier and daylight compensation.
  • Front beam direction for straightforward alignment and installation.
  • 2-pin PVC cable or 3-pin circular M8 plug connection options.
  • Designed for harsh applications where dirt resistance matters.
