Photoelectric mini sensors
20 March 2014
Offering optimum value and sensing performance for applications in confined spaces, Eaton has launched a new range of mini rectangular photoelectric sensors.
Measuring just 38 by 13mm, the new E71 NanoView sensors require minimum mounting space and offer machine and system builders a reliable and cost-efficient sensing solution suitable for applications in the packaging, food and beverage, and materials handling sectors.
The NanoView series offers a range of operating modes including polarised reflex sensor (2.5m), thru-beam sensor (1.5 to 6m), reflective sensor (350mm) and clear object detection making them suitable for a variety of applications.
A key feature of the E71 NanoView miniature sensors is their ability to detect transparent objects made of plastic, glass or foils. They can also distinguish between bottles of different colours and thicknesses. An ABS plastic housing offering protection to IP66 standards also means they are suitable for harsh environments.
