Flowmeter range expands
Honsberg developed and released the original Omni flowmeter after listening to customer feedback.
Three models make up the range in I, L and T shapes, the latter two with built in sensor arms to reduce installation times and increase reliability in pallet handling applications.
A unique and patented design allows the sensing arms to be adjusted in both height and angle, making the accurate detection of product much easier.
L and T options are available with 2 or 3 beams for personnel protection, while the I shape offers 2,3 and 4 beam options, plus 30mm, 40mm and 90mm resolutions for upper and lower limb detection.

Electrical connection is by pre moulded jumper cables, giving a true plug and play system with the benefits of quick and simple installation - characteristics not normally associated with such products.
All models are safety level type 4,are third party approved by TUV and are UL and CE marked.
