Photocell Selection
Class 1 laser diffuse/proximity sensor. Requires light/dark change to
detect product. 300mm max sensing distance with potentiometer for
range adjustment. 0.7ms internal time delay. Not recommended for
transparent products.
Infrared LED diffuse/proximity sensor. Requires light/dark change to
detect product. 450mm max sensing distance with potentiometer for
range adjustment. 0.6ms internal time delay. Not recommended for
transparent products.
Photocell, Fiber Optic Kit
Fiber optic amplifier for discrete infrared sensing. 0.6ms internal
time delay. Fiber cable is flexible stainless steel jacketed and
operates at temperatures over 200C. Sensing distance varies by
product material. Not recommended for transparent products.
Photocell, Retroreflective Kit
Non-polarized retroreflective sensor with visible red LED. 6.5m max
sensing distance with potentiometer for range adjustment. 0.6ms
internal time delay. Reflector is required and is included with the kit.
Works well with some glasses and transparent products.
Inductive sensor for large range of metals. 4.2-14mm range
depending on magnetic property of the metal. Works with
Aluminum, Steel, Stainless steel, Nickel, and Manganese steel.
Photocell, Print Registration
Teachable red, green, or blue contast sensor. 10mm max sensing
distance. Can be used to detect minor changes in product, such as
color changes on product. Works well with glass product and
detecting optically clear products.
