• Inductive Proximity Sensors
  Inductive proximity sensors are electronic transducers which generate an output signal when a metallic object (iron, aluminium, copper, brass etc.) enter their sensing area from any direction, without coming into contact with the sensor. The sensors are available in cylindrical, rectangular and ring type versions and with many different electrical and mechanical features. All sensors are available with either a cable or connector plug.
  


• Capacitive Proximity Sensors
  Capacitive proximity sensors are electronic transducers which generate an output signal when any type of material (wood, metal, plastic, granular and powder products etc.) enter their sensing area, without coming into direct contact with the sensor. The sensors are enclosed in a threaded cylindrical case with fixing brackets and are available with many different mechanical and electrical features. Models with instantaneous outputs or time delayed outputs (up to 15 minutes) are available and with either a cable or connector plug.
  


• Photoelectric Proximity Sensors
  Photoelectric sensors are light emission principle electronic transducers which provide an output signal when an object comes into their sensing area. They are available in the cylindrical M18, square, fork and M18 fibre optic versions. Models are available for direct reflection, reflection with a reflector (for infrared light or polarized red light), polarized reflection or as a barrier with an emitter and receiver. All versions are provided with either a cable or M12 connection.
  


• Magnetic Proximity Sensors
  Magnetic sensors consist of a reed switch with contacts, protected by a glass bulb containing inert gas to ensure mechanical and electrical deterioration are kept to a minimum. This is all contained in a plastic or metallic housing, filled with epoxy resin to guarantee protection against humidity, vibration and shocks. They are available in cylindrical or rectangular versions with either normally open or changeover contacts. Magnets of various shapes and sizes are also available to activate these sensors.
