Sensor housing has low mounting depth
The diffuse sensor with background suppression is equipped with a diode line as its receiver and the sensing range is adjusted by means of an easy-to-use teach-in procedure.
The new Opto 20 Series housing line, with its low mounting depth and front-side installation, comes equipped with several features which represent a clear improvement in security The diffuse sensor with background suppression is equipped with a diode line as its receiver and the sensing range is adjusted by means of an easy-to-use teach-in procedure

Configurable transmitter measures up to 400 bar
Based on a piezoresistive polysilicon strain gauge sensor, a fully configurable pressure transmitter with Profibus PA can measure absolute or relative pressure of up to 400 bar.
In the remaining sensors, the sensitivity/sensing range is adjusted by means of a potentiometer.
In addition, the sensors are equipped with a special algorithm that suppresses the reciprocal optical influence of adjacent sensors.
The compact Series 20 housing line offers a complete family covering all scanning principles: a diffuse sensor (sensing range: 650mm), a diffuse sensor with background suppression (sensing range: 200mm), a through beam sensor (nominal range: 8m), and a retro-reflexive sensor with polarizing filter (nominal range: 5m).
Thus, optical, inductive, capacitive, and ultrasonic sensors are now available in the same design.
The Sensofix mounting kit represents an optimal solution as a useful accessory for simple mounting and quick start-up - and this for all technologies!.
