ifm efector LMT Series level sensor
12 July, 2011 byThe LMT Series level sensor can be used as a suitable alternative to tuning-fork level sensors that are prone to false signalling.
Banner Engineering R58B Series registration mark sensor
05 July, 2011 byThe R58B Series registration mark sensor from Banner Engineering provides the same performance detection and colour contrast sensitivity of the R58E, but with the addition of a simplified teach process. Teach is performed quickly via a single-click on the teach push-button on the sensor or via remote input. The teach button allows the sensor to ‘learn’ the light and dark sensing conditions, based on user inputs, and then can automatically adjust the sensitivity to place the operating threshold midway between threshold for the light and dark condition.
Kistler Type 4503A torque sensor
08 June, 2011 byThe Kistler Type 4503A torque sensor features a second measuring range and is suitable for applications with a high peak torque but moderate operating torque. The dual range sensor offers the advantage of range switching, which allows highly accurate measurement of both the peak and particularly the operating torque.
Banner World-Beam Q20FF fixed-field background suppression sensor
01 June, 2011 byThe Banner Engineering World-Beam Q20FF fixed-field background suppression sensor is a compact photoelectric sensor offering enhanced sensing capabilities with visible red, fixed-field background suppression and a sensing range up to 150 mm.
