SYSTEMS
DESIGN
• Space-saving installation
• Axial cable outlet option available to avoid loops
and possible cable damage
90° deection
• Easy mounting
• Flush mounting in a single slot
• Detection of objects in the background are
minimized
Flat design
• Sender and receiver bers are enclosed together
or combined in a single sensor head
• Recognition of measuring object by detecting the
light beam reected from the object
• Optical axis does not need to be adjusted
• Reective or transparent measuring object can
be detected
• Easy mounting
• Ideal for color and position markings
Proximity system
• Sender and receiver bers are mounted
separately
• Detection of measuring object by moving the
optical axis between sender and receiver
• Very large sensing ranges
• Accurate positioning
• Stable measuring position
• Optically opaque measuring object can be detect-
ed regardless of their shape, color, or material
• Strong light beam
Through-beam
system
• Quick and easy mounting
• Models with hexagonal ange for trouble-free
mounting with only one nut
• Optional tip adapter for a larger detection
distance and detection of small objects
Threaded sleeve
• For installation in areas with limited space
• The smooth sleeve is simply secured with a
setscrew
Smooth sleeve
• Sensor tip can be positioned close to the object
• Flexible end sleeves are available
• Fits in tight spaces
