Fixed-distance slot sensors available in six widths
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 5/1/2006
The SLM series metal slot sensors sense objects that pass between their fixed-distance opposed-mode emitter and receiver. Available in six slot widths, all models have a rugged metal housing and a response time of 500 μs, making them suitable for high-speed counting, edge detecting, position verifying, and level-monitoring applications. The fixed slot width provides opposed-mode sensing of objects as small as 0.30 mm. Available models offer slot widths of 10, 30, 50, 80, 120, and 220 mm. Each model includes single-turn potentiometer sensitivity adjustment and generates a visible red beam; molded-in beam guides simplify beam placement.
