Contrinex has introduced smart versions of its proven C23 and M18 photoelectric sensor series, enhancing efficiency in manufacturing. These high-resolution smart sensors offer a detection range from 5 mm to 1,200 mm, feature digital measurement and switching capabilities, and are fully programmable. Their robust stainless steel housing ensures reliable operation even in harsh environments.
The newly launched smart photoelectric sensors are available in two versions: SMART BASIC and SMART DMS. Operating with a focused red light beam (630 nm/640 nm), they offer varying detection ranges: 10-300 mm (SMART BASIC with background suppression, ≤500 Hz), 5-1,200 mm (SMART BASIC retro-reflective sensor, ≤1000 Hz), and 10-200 mm (SMART DMS measuring sensor, ≤500 Hz).
The SMART BASIC series provides digital teach and switching point configuration, advanced switching logic, configurable alarm thresholds and sources, reserved memory for user-defined data tags, an external SIO input, and a wire-teach function. Meanwhile, the SMART DMS measuring sensors offer extended data acquisition, including statistical calculations, as well as a calibrated and precisely linearized digital measurement output. Their advanced switching logic allows for a broader range of applications compared to standard models. A key feature of these sensors is their state-dependent self-monitoring capability, which helps reduce maintenance costs.
Contrinex’s photoelectric sensors are known for their exceptional detection capabilities and reliable background suppression. Thanks to their patented measurement principle, they can accurately detect even thin, transparent objects at close range. Additionally, they offer high repeat accuracy and reliability, even in challenging environments (IP68/IP69K). These sensors are ideal for industries such as warehouse logistics, automated manufacturing, food processing, and semiconductor production.
