Slim line safety light curtains introduced
Having only a cross section of 20mm x 30mm, 'slim line' safety light curtains demonstrate that safety light curtains no longer need to be large, bulky or difficult to install.
Ultrasonic sensors have many applications in industry, for example level monitoring, height checking, product positioning and in rewind applications, but one of the major drawbacks of ultrasonic sensors has always been the size of the housings.
The signal conditioning and electronics used in ultrasonics meant that until quite recently, it was still quite common for the electronics to be housed in a separate control unit and this method has been used for many "space saving" designs.
This latest "small" development will offer big cost savings.
Versions with switch outputs and analogue current or voltage outputs are planned. Request a free brochure from Pepperl+Fuchs GB ...
