Laser through-beam sensor

Staff -- Control Engineering, 12/1/2005

Laser sensor recognizes objects as small as 0.05 mm at a distance of 50 m. Visible through-beam arrangement offers simple focus adjustment and a reaction time of 100 µs. Device is housed in a tough, hygienic stainless steel housing and can be used for a number of applications, including control of object height, remote sensing of tool breakage, presence or position check in hostile environment, detection of breaks and tears in yarn or filaments, and stack height monitoring. Sensor operates in laser protection Class 2 with less than 1 mW output. Voltage ranges from 10-30 V dc. No additional amplifier is required. www.cesensors.com Component Engineering
