Sensor combines photoelectric and proximity features.
Dec 11 2006 - Optoprox(TM) Photoelectric Sensor offers simplicity of mounting, aligning, and handling of inductive proximity sensor, but without range limitations. It features focused red light beam with fixed sensing range up to 23 mm, complete with background suppression. Unit can target very small objects and sense difficult-to-detect black plastic, metal, and rubber parts. Applications include presence sensing, positioning, controlling, and monitoring of discrete and process automation sequences.

UV Luminescence Sensor has long-range, high-speed operation.
Nov 17 2006 - Able to detect UV luminescent materials/markers over distances to 300 mm, BLT 31M combines adjustable light projection and high resolution to suit part detection and error proofing applications. Sensing range helps avoid incidental contact in manufacturing process, while 6 kHz response time suits high-speed applications. With optional 50 mm lens, projected light can be directed into 5 mm spot. Sensor includes auto-teach and manual programming as well as analog and discrete outputs.

Sensors verify color of target over 30-100 mm distances.
Nov 16 2006 - With switching frequency suited for high-speed applications, BFS 30M sensor models include 7-color channel discrete output model and 15-color channel hexadecimal output version. Sensor issues discrete signal that indicates color match when readings of all 3 color components (RGB) fall within preprogrammed parameters. Products are programmed via Windows(TM)-based application that enables comprehensive set-up, file management, and real-time sample analysis and evaluation.

Mounting System protects and positions sensors.
Oct 16 2006 - Available in plastic or metal, BMS Sensor Mounting System lets users position sensor at any angle on production line. Dimensionally stable system offers 3 axes of movement and uses knurled pins to hold position during sensor replacement. Able to accommodate any manufacturer-specific mounting profile, holder works with standard mounting extrusions while locking firmly and symmetrically in rail slot. Metal-body fine adjustment unit is available for laser sensors.
