Miniature photoelectric sensors
No assembly limits
Sick has introduced the Z18 Simplesense photoelectric sensor product family for standard applications at close range. The sensor principles, housing options and mounting options of the miniature sensors open up integration possibilities in intralogistics application environments.
The latest Asic technology ensures maximum detection performance and blocks out ambient light influences; this makes the photoelectric sensors and light scanners interference-proof and supports the long-term availability of machines and systems. The equipment is based on plug-and-play and is limited to the essentials - this makes the detection solutions economical. Four sensor principles are available: Throughbeam and retro-reflective photoelectric sensors, energetic photoelectric proximity switches and photoelectric proximity switches with background suppression. Depending on the mounting situation, the user can choose between housings with M18 standard thread, cubic miniature housings and a spherical housing with infinitely adjustable optics. Typical applications can be found in pallet and container conveyor technology in intralogistics systems and plants, in access and entry systems and in other space-critical and cost-sensitive tasks in factory automation where reliable presence detection is essential. pb
