Compact Dual-Mode Photoelectric Sensors Save Space and Cut Cost in Non-Contact Hand-Sanitization Equipment
Automated, non-contact operation has become the norm for hand sanitization, and dispenser manufacturers need robust, affordable sensors to detect the presence of an individual’s hands.
Soap-and-water dispensers traditionally require two sensors for accurate dispensation, but modern single-sensor systems save space and cut cost. Designers require compact dual-output sensors capable of withstanding mechanical shock and fluid ingress, while offering an attractive price/performance profile.
Customer benefits
- Diffuse-mode sensors with background suppression and a sensing distance of up to 250 mm are ideal for hand detection
- Compact M18-diameter devices with 55 mm overall length fit snugly in a typical, tightly packed dispensing head
- Rugged stainless-steel housings and shatter-resistant PMMA optics, rated to IP67, protect against mechanical shock and fluid ingress
- IO-Link functionality provides two discrete outputs that trigger sequential dispensation of soap and water
- Robust, versatile sensors represent exceptional value for money, with a price/performance profile that exceeds expectations
- Customized versions with bespoke functionality are available for specialized applications
Specific Product Advantages
- Robust metal-bodied M18M photoelectric sensors offer increased protection in the harshest environments
- Shatter-resistant PMMA optics are lighter and tougher than glass with a focused beam on all versions
- Sensors with stainless-steel housings devices are resistant to washdown and process fluids
- Exclusive ASIC technology delivers compact design with superior sensing performance and best-in-class sensing distances
- Best-in-class sensing distances ensure maximum flexibility for designers
- User-configurable devices with IO-Link functionality are ideal for easy integration
- Unrivalled price/performance ratio offers exceptional value for money
- Comprehensive range of cables and mounting brackets available
- Enhanced −25°C to +65°C operating range
