Short description
Eaton’s high-performance photo-
electric sensors feature a tubular
enclosure with a diameter of 18 mm
and are available in a range of
versions to solve virtually any sensing
problem. The sensors are available
in thru-beam, reflex, polarized reflex,
diffuse reflective, focused diffuse
reflective, wide-angle diffuse
reflective, Perfect Prox
®
, Fine Spot
Perfect Prox
®
and fiber optic
sensing versions.
The Perfect Prox
®
sensors are among
the most powerful on the market.
These sensors reliably detect targets
of different color, reflectance, contrast
or surface shape at the same range,
while ignoring background objects just
a fraction of an inch away. The
Comet Series includes AC/DC and
DC-only models with 2-, 3- and
4-wire circuitry, and with cable or
M 12 micro-connector.
Each sensor features a Light/ Dark
Operation switch and a gain control to
provide for quick adjustment to peak
optical performance. The unique
threaded body with flat sides allows
quick mounting in a 19 mm hole or
against any flat surface. Internal
components are rigidly sealed in a
solid encapsulated package for
excellent performance in high vibra-
tion and high-shock applications.
Product features
• Industry standard 18 mm diameter
threaded body has flat sides
allowing it to be mounted like a
tubular sensor or against any flat
surface
• Models with a 90° measurement
direction can be installed in holes
with a depth of only 152 mm.
• Perfect Prox
®
technology provides
exceptional background rejection
and application problem-solving.
• Visible sensing beams let you see
where the light barrier is aimed for
quick flush mounting and alignment.
• Solid polyurethane enclosure
completely encapsulates internal
circuits for high resistance to
shock and vibration.
• Adaptable modulation circuit
provides immunity to cross talk
from other closely mounted
sensors.
• Models available with both AC
and DC operation in a single unit –
up to 264 volts AC.
• 4-wire DC sensors offer both NPN
and PNP outputs.
• Output status indicator visible from
a wide 270° angle.
