Infrared temperature sensors have analog
output
Infrared temperature gauging sensors sense whether an object is warmer or colder than its surrounding - even when the difference is only 3 deg C and even if the object is stationary.
Banner Engineering announces the addition of the M18T analog output model to its line of T-Gage infrared temperature gauging sensors The M18T senses whether the object is warmer or colder than its surrounding - even when the difference is only 3 deg C and even if the object is stationary

Compact ultrasonic sensors push-button programmed
Compact ultrasonic sensors feature an advanced microprocessor design, push-button programming and bright diagnostic status LEDs located directly on the sensor housing.
Lasers offered at under $155 for precise sensing
Retroreflective laser sensors, at less than $155.00, feature an extremely small, tightly collimated 4mm laser sensing beam for precise sensing at ranges up to 18m.
The self-contained sensor requires no controller to operate, and its 'Teach' function allows the user to program two distinct temperature switchpoints for an output that automatically scales over a positive or negative slope.
The M18T features an 18mm stainless-steel barrel construction with fully encapsulated electronics rated IP67 for reliable operation - even in harsh sensing environments.
It is ideal for a variety of applications such as monitoring surface temperature; forewarning of overheating parts; and verifying cooking, curing and surface temperatures.
Features include the following.
* Delivers fast response time of 75 milliseconds.
* Features a detection spot size of 7 to 167mm.
* Available with static and dynamic remote Teach.
* Includes two highly visible LEDs for Power ON/OFF, TEACH and Alarm output status.
* Available with 6:1, 8:1, or 14:1 distance-to-spot size ratio (D:S ratio).
* Includes a 0 to 10V DC analog and PNP alarm output.
* Provides option of changing analog slope direction from positive to negative or negative to positive.
* Offers a choice of integrated lens for general purpose use, enclosed plastic face for food applications and germanium lens for narrow field of view.
* Operates on 12 to 30V DC.
* Includes 2m or 9m unterminated cable, or 5-pin Euro-style QD.
