Photo Sensors Feature Flexible Outputs October 30, 2006
The established Tru-Vue series photoelectric sensors are now available with 4-in-1 outputs, a feature that enables a single sensor to operate in NPN normally open, NPN normally closed, PNP normally open, or PNP normally closed configurations. This is said to simplify sensor selection, installation, and stocking. Designed for the material handling market, the sensors employ patented EZ-mount brackets for quick mounting at a lower cost than traditional metal brackets. Additionally, the sensors feature side-mount or snout-mount options and 360° LED indicators for status indication in all directions and from poor vantage points. Available sensing modes include diffused, polarized retro-reflective, and non-polarized retro-reflective. Five electrical connection options are available including cabled, pig-tailed, and integral-connector types. PEPPERL+FUCHS INC., Twinsburg, OH. (330) 486-0001.
