Balluff has developed miniaturised MICROmote photoelectric sensors with a separate electronic processor unit. The sensors provide a large amount of optical performance in a tiny amount of space due to the miniaturised LEDs, photodiodes and phototransistors.
The sensors are suitable in small installation spaces and on moving machine parts and robot grippers, where low weight is necessary.
The sensors integrated into the metal housing are operated with a separate amplifier, which can be positioned outside of the action area. Flexible electrical cables provide secure transmission of the sensor signals between the sensor head and the amplifier. In this way, the sensors are also a technical alternative to fibre optics. The amplifier features ergonomic indicators and operating elements.
The photoelectric sensor heads have dimensions of just a few mm and are suitable for a range of applications, including position detection of small parts, identification and counting of objects or detecting the filling levels of foaming liquids.
The range includes diffuse sensors, through-beam sensors, high-vacuum sensors, fork sensors and precision hose sensors.
