LOW-COST SENSORS FOR ALMOST ANY PRESENCE DETECTION

SICK launches Z Photoelectric Sensors and the next generation of ELF photoelectric sensors, all rated for harsh environments and offered in a choice of standard front mount or a spherical ball mount.

Posted: September 16, 2010

SICK (Minneapolis, MN), one of the world?s leading manufacturers of sensors, safety systems, machine vision, and automatic identification products for factory and logistics automation, announced the launch of its Z Photoelectric Sensors and the introduction of the next generation of ELF Photoelectric Sensors.

 

Whether customers choose a standard front mount or a spherical ball mount, when combined with a swivel bracket, these low-cost sensors are infinitely adjustable. This flexibility makes the ELF and Z Sensors suitable for almost any presence detection application on conveyor lines, packaging machines, bin controls and hands-free systems. They are rated IP 67 for harsh environments. The ELF and Z are both assembled in the United States, which allows SICK to customize the sensors (cable cut to length, addition of different connectors, brackets, customer-specific cable label, bulk pack, kit with reflector/bracket, etc.), reducing customers? material and labor costs, and providing greater flexibility.
