New optical sensors benefit from longer operating ranges

With the R200 and R201 designs, the forward-thinking product design of photoelectric sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs enables applications with longer operating distances. Just like the compact R100, R101, and R103 series, both new products consistently offer all photoelectric functional principles in a design that is now larger and suitable for specific mounting situations. Usability is intuitive and identical across all series - and the standardised IO-Link connection via Smart Sensor Profiles also enables convenient and reliable integration of the sensors.
