Ultra-Mini Sensors Work In Confined Areas

Measuring just 25.1 mm x 12 mm x 3.6 mm thick, the VS2 Series Convergent-Mode sensors are self-contained miniature devices featuring a low profile that enables them to fit and function in confined areas previously accessible only to remote or fiber optic devices. The sensors utilize a visible red sensing beam to provide a powerful 15-mm or 30-mm range and repeatability of 160 µs with an output response time of 1 ms.
Designed for sensing inside machinery, such as microelectronic handling equipment, vibratory feeders and punch presses, the sensors are low-cost replacements for remote and fiber optic devices. The sensors are unaffected by varying target color or reflectivity and provide RF immunity. Pricing starts at $70 each.
