Elf series of washdown photoelectric sensors features IP67 rating and is suitable for use in harsh environments and for presence/absence detection on bottles, cans, or cartons. It comes in two sensing types: retro-reflective and proximity. Reflex/retro-reflective devices have a sensing range of 0.2 to 10 ft; proximity diffuse sensors have a background suppression sensing range of 0 to 2 in. and energetic sensing range of 0.04 to 3.9 in. Watertight seal withstands immersion, cleaning agents, cutting fluids and other demanding processes found in breweries, bottling plants, and pharmaceutical applications.
