As contactless measurement devices, photoelectric distance sensors are suitable for numerous areas of application. Different operating principles are available, depending on the distance to be measured. The specialists at Contrinex use a laser triangulation method for highly accurate distance measurement at short ranges, while at long ranges they prefer the optical time-of-flight (TOF) method. These measuring technologies are used by two new high-precision sensors: DTL-C23 for short range distan …

In the food industry, hygiene requirements are crucial to sensor choice. Since high speed, reliable detection is the key success factor for flexible filling and packaging solutions, Contrinex now offers specifically optimized  photoelectric sensors. They have excellent background suppression and a robust plexiglass window. The 4150 series with background suppression detects any target independently of its remission factor or surface. It has a patented double optic system that allows fixed …

With the new C23 and C55 series, Contrinex not only meets the demand for photoelectric sensors for ultra-precise distance measurement, but also for the measurement of very large distances. The cubic C23 sensors use triangulation to measure distances up to 200 mm with extreme precision. The C55 Series uses the time-of-flight (TOF) method for highly reliable measurement of large distances from 100 mm to 5000 mm. C23 – precise measurement in miniature cubic housing Measuring just 20 x 34 x …

Small, robust and durable: Contrinex’s full-metal, weld-immune sensors are now available in a space-saving M8 size. They offer outstanding mechanical stability and are virtually indestructible. Since they are also easy to clean and allow long operating distances, they represent the ideal solution for welding systems, for example in the automotive industry. Contrinex is systematically expanding its Weld-Immune range of Full Inox sensors: these are now available in the most popular sizes of …

Whatever the sensor type, for fast field checks and demonstrations the new Contrinex sensor tester is an essential addition to any toolbox. Designed for a sensor current supply up to 100 mA, the new sensor tester works perfectly even with complex sensor types. It is ideal for checking inductive, capacitive, photoelectric or ultrasonic sensors with all kinds of outputs (PNP, NPN, N.O., N.C. or push-pull) and includes automatic PNP/NPN recognition. For checking inductive sensors, a built-in steel …
