New photoelectric analog sensors

These new Contrinex analog sensors in size 30 x 30 x 15 mm are characterized by their large sensing range from 10 to 100 mm, excellent temperature stability between -25 oC and +55 oC, and outstanding repeat accuracy. The sensing range is independent of the color or surface structure of the object to be detected. In addition, since intermediate digitalization has been dispensed with, resolution of the Contrinex devices is virtually unlimited.

The use of analog sensor technology permits the realization of numerous applications. For instance, the finely regulated approach to end positions at minimum cost, the realization of several switch points with a single device, or the monitoring of shaft concentricity.

The sensors feature a bandwidth of 500 Hz, as well as a voltage (0 ... 5 V or 0 ... 10 V) and a current output (1 ... 5 mA or 4 ... 20 mA) in the same device, thus providing the user with great flexibility. The devices are fully potted, equipped with glass windows and comply with the degree of protection IP 67.
