36 36 IEN / FEB '16 IEN / FEB '16 www.ien.com Product Spotlight Miniature Photoelectric Sensors for Harsh and Wash-Down Environments Non-Clogging Pressure Transmitter Long Range High Position Sensors Optimized for Implementation in Harsh Environments M18-4 Self Contained Photoelectric Sensors IIoT Solution For Data Acquisition Non-Contacting Position Sensors Deliver >10M Rotations Balluff's (Florence, KY) new R01E stainless steel fl atpack photoelectric sensor, with its IP69K rating, is ideal for harsh duty and wash- down applications. These sensors offer diffuse versions with ranges up to 100 mm, polarized retrorefl ective with ranges up to one meter, and through beam sensor with ranges up to 2.2 meters. With a precise, uniform visible red light beam, alignment is easy and objects are reliably detected. Not only does the small size provide fl exibility in installation, but the stainless steel housing is built to survive the toughest applications in the harshest environments. Connections are made by cable or M8 three-pin quick disconnect. Features of the Balluff BOS R01E: • Red light. • Miniature stainless steel housing. • Polyamide (PA) optical surface. • PNP, NPN, NO, NC outputs. • IP69K. • Diffuse, retrorefl ective and through-beam sensing mode. www.balluff.us/photoelectric; 800-543-8390 The Non-Clogging DP 20T pressure transmitter from FilterSense (Beverly, MA) is designed as the reliable alternative to typical tube style gauges that clog, resulting in ineffi cient fi ltration, loss of fi lter cake and increased wear on fi lter media. FilterSense's non-clogging pressure transmitters feature a large, ceramic diaphragm that is durable and resists clogging. Both differential and static confi gurations are available in ranges as low as 0-10 InWC. 4-20mA output is provided from the all stainless steel, heavy duty sensor, and DP 20T will reduce compressed air consumption, fi lter replacement costs and ensure proper fi lter cake to maximize fi ltration effi ciency. www.fi ltersense.com; 978-927-4304 The NCG-1-AL-UHV position sensors from Queensgate (Cambridge, UK), based upon proprietary capacitive technology, have measurements that can span across 11,000 µm. Designed for precision positioning in the most uncompromising of environments, features include: • A sensing mechanism that uses gold-plated ceramic capacitive plates and exhibits a combination of rugged construction plus strong operational performance of 0.12 µm resolution. • The ability to maintain zero position when powered down, which makes them an optimized alternative or addition to interferometry for short distance measurements. • Low thermal changes at the point of measurement. • Radiation hard to 107 Gy. • A working temperature range from -200°C to +150°C. • A non-magnetic design. • Suitability in vacuum environments up to 1 × 10-10Torr. NCG-1-AL-UHV position sensors are designed to be accompanied by the company's NS- 2000/NS-2000SM single axis or NS-2304 multi-axis sensor controllers. Among the key applications for these devices are insertion redevises, X-ray monochromators, precision manufacturing and other large scale science experiments. www.nanopositioning.com Banner Engineering (Minneapolis, MN) introduces its new M18-4 self-contained photoelectric sensors. Featuring robust IP69K-rated 316 stainless steel housing, the heavy-duty 18 mm metal barrel sensor is ideal for harsh industrial environments where abrasive chemicals and ingress fl uid are present. Built with Advanced ASIC (Application Specifi c Integrated Circuit) technology, the dc- operated M18-4 sensors are also resistant to fl uorescent light and offer a high level of crosstalk avoidance. Features include: • A powerful and bright visible red emitter beam, allowing for easy alignment and set-up. • A highly visible output, and dual-function power and stability indicators. • Availability in opposed, polarized and non-polarized retrorefl ective, diffuse and fi xed-fi eld sensing modes. For increased fl exibility, diffuse models offer a robust 250 degree sensitivity potentiometer. • A wide operating temperature range of -40° to +70° Celsius, which ensures optimal performance for diverse applications. www.bannerengineering.com; 888-373-6767 Moxa (Brea, CA) has announced a new data acquisition solution that brings greater versatility for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The new ioLogik 2542-WL1 and ioLogik 2512-WL1 both feature 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi connectivity, which will serve the growing number of devices and M2M applications that require wireless communication. The ioLogik 2542-WL1 supports analog I/O connections over Wi-Fi, whereas the ioLogik 2512-WL1 supports digital I/O connections over Wi-Fi. With the addition of these two models, Moxa now offers a range of fl exible data acquisition solutions for wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 2G GPRS and 3G HSPA networks. Both ioLogik units feature automatic tag generation and reporting for connected sensors and devices. This enables operators to monitor a large number of fi eld devices with great effi ciency. www.moxa.com; 714-528-6777 TT Electronics (Weybridge, UK) introduces its MagnePot 8150 Series family of multi- turn non-contacting rotary position sensors. The 8150 Series is designed to operate reliably over a minimum of 10 million shaft rotations with no signal output degradation. Ideally suited to serve high-reliability markets including industrial, medical and aviation/aerospace, additional features include: • A combination of the latest in Hall Effect non- contacting sensing technology and internal bearing design, which results in performance reliability. • Clean, ratiometric absolute position outputs across multiple turns without sliding contact noise. • Availability in three, fi ve, or ten turns, each powered via a 5 VDC supply voltage. • A ratiometric output range from 4% to 96% of supply with a 12 mA max current rating. • Standard ±0.50% independent linearity, with optional improvement to ±0.25%. • A standard operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. • Optional alternative output voltages, servo mounts, non-linear outputs, IP50 or IP66 ingress protection and severe environment versions. • Severe service models with sealed shafts and rear lids. • Applicability in industrial joystick controls, factory and laboratory automation, advanced manufacturing, robotic positioning, motion control feedback, medical diagnostic equipment positioning, aircraft fl ight and panel controls and vision system positioning feedback. www.ttelectronics.com
