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.
