Robust and reliable sensors for automatic hand sanitisers
We're all familiar with them, especially in recent times, but what you may not be aware of is that many automatic, non-contact hand sanitisers incorporate miniature optical sensors supplied by Baumer. The sensors ensure reliable and safe hand detection at switching distances that vary from 15mm up to 300mm, at any angle of incidence, (even when the viewing window is soiled) and they do so for the entire lifetime of the device. Adjustable switching delays also prevent multiple or unwanted spray bursts to reduce wastage. Further, thanks to high immunity to ambient light, there are no restrictions to the sensor functions even in very bright environments.
The range of sensor designs available from Baumer ensures easy integration into dispenser housings. For example, the 0200 Photo-electric miniature sensors provide reliability, precision and reproducibility even on black, shiny, transparent or irregular surfaces. Baumer's 0300 Miniature Sensors are suitable when space is limited, providing enhanced processor performance for reliable detection in a 12.9mm housing. It can detect the smallest objects and delivers fast processing. Finally, the company also has cylindrical M18 photo-electric sensors for cost-effective object detection in a compact yet robust industrial housing of constructed from a choice of plastic, brass or stainless steel.
