Summary: Versatile C23 photoelectric sensors from Swiss manufacturer Contrinex play a vital role in managing high-volume, automated food-packaging operations. Manufacturers rely on these high performance devices to maintain an appropriate degree of control across multiple discrete process stages, ensuring maximum uptime. The C23 Series is available with IO-Link, a standardized point-to-point serial connection protocol, at no additional cost, offering the advantages of digital communication with …

When it comes to detecting transparent objects, the limits of conventional photoelectric sensors are soon apparent. Since clear glass or plastic absorb only a small amount of light, there is little difference between emitted and received light levels. As a result, switching signals may be unclear. Contamination by dust or moisture on the lens – unavoidable in many areas of application – can lead to counting errors. Until now, such problems have been mitigated through the use of compl …

Fault-free assembly is ensured and downtime minimized in automated facilities for high volume consumer goods assembly. Rugged inductive sensors detect the presence and position of equipment or components at each stage to ensure that parts are correctly aligned and ready for the next operation. Sensors must be accurate and responsive. In addition, an IO-Link interface offers the advantages of digital communication without the need for special cabling. Customer Values: -Efficient, fault-free ass …

The new C23 Full Inox series of flat, full-metal inductive sensors is ideal for applications where the environment is harsh and space is scarce, but long operating distances are still indispensable. Thanks to Contrinex ASIC technology, these miniature-sized sensors are highly accurate and include an IO-Link interface. C23 Full Inox Extreme sensors offer the advantage of factor of 1 on steel and aluminum. Compared with similar sensors, they are distinguished not only by their IO-Link interface b …
