L-com, an Infinite Electronics brand and supplier of wired and wireless connectivity products, has launched a new line of diffuse reflection photoelectric proximity sensors designed for industrial IoT applications.
These sensors precisely detect the proximity, presence, or absence of objects using a light transmitter and feature IP67-rated ingress protection, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
Advanced Features for Industrial IoT Applications
Built to meet the requirements of connected systems, L-com’s proximity sensors combine robust performance, easy installation, and broad compatibility. Key features include:
Versatile Detection Ranges
Available in three configurations, the sensors support detection ranges of 0 to 0.1 meters, 0 to 0.2 meters, and 0 to 0.3 meters, enabling tailored implementation across diverse applications.
Rugged and Compact Design
Measuring just 12 mm in diameter, the sensors feature a durable brass, nickel-plated threaded barrel housing. This robust construction ensures secure mounting and precise adjustment for challenging industrial environments.
Enhanced IP67 Protection
Dustproof and waterproof, the sensors can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes them ideal for harsh conditions and ensures compliance with hygiene standards in applications such as food processing and packaging.
Flexible Output Options
With sourcing (PNP) and sinking (NPN) outputs, as well as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) signal configurations, the sensors integrate seamlessly with various control systems.
Broad Voltage Range
Compatible with power systems operating at 10 VDC to 36 VDC, the sensors offer adaptability for a wide array of industrial setups.
Integrated Connectivity
Each sensor includes a two-meter pigtail cable, streamlining installation and ensuring reliable connectivity with control systems.
Supporting Precision Performance in Connected Systems
Designed for IoT-driven applications, L-com’s proximity sensors provide durable and reliable solutions for connected environments. The compact and rugged construction, combined with customizable output configurations and detection ranges, makes them ideal for:
- Industrial and warehouse automation
- Automotive production systems
- Food and beverage processing
- Robotics
“Our new proximity sensors are precise but tough,” said Tim Houghton, Product Line Manager at L-com. “They accurately detect objects, instantly output that data, and are dependable with their rugged IP67 construction.”
Ready for Deployment
L-com’s diffuse reflection IoT-enabled sensors simplify installation with their threaded barrel design and flexible output configurations. Compatible with various control systems, these sensors support rapid integration for a wide range of applications.
