IDEC Corporation (Sunnyvale, CA) is expanding its extensive photoelectric (PE) sensor portfolio with the new SA1N series of space-saving subminiature PE sensors. The SA1N series provides high accuracy and performance, and it is available in compact barrel and block form factors.
Both versions are all-in-one devices with built-in amplifiers and sensitivity adjustment control. The barrel-mount version has a 3 to 50mm sensing range, while the block-type can detect over a 5 to 30mm sensing range. Both models are available in NPN or PNP light-on configurations, and both provide a rapid 0.5msec maximum response time.
The sensors each come with flexible 2-meter pigtail wiring, functioning at standard 24VDC with minimal current draw. They operate over a wide -25 to +55DegC temperature range. The barrel-mount version uses a stainless-steel housing and plastic encapsulation to achieve an IP67 rating, while the block-type is rated at IP64.
Many types of production line equipment and manufacturing machinery — ranging across industries as varied as medical, food & beverage, and more — require positive presence detection of machine components and positioning/counting of products. The SA1N series of subminiature PE sensors will fit into the limited space available for these types of applications, and it offers a favorable price/performance ratio compared with other more esoteric technology options.
