Ultra-miniature sensors avoid failures in fragile fibres

Now available from OEM Automatic is the new Takex UX ultra-miniature sensor range, for installation in the same space as typical fibre applications.

Ultra-miniature sensors avoid failures in fragile fibres

Thanks to the integrated amplifier in this new range, there is no longer the problem of fragile fibres being routed back to a remote amplifier. Within most fibre applications, failure occurs when the fibre optic cables are damaged; the 2m copper-cored cable removes this issue.

Sealed to IP67, the housing makes the sensor suitable for use in washdown environments.

Features include:

  • Through-beam (1m) and diffuse (50mm) versions
  • Double LED indicator
  • Response time of 0.5ms
  • Side viewing heads available
