WE’VE SIMPLY DONE AWAY WITH ALIGNMENT! The 18B series completely redenes optimized usability. IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE BEST EVEN BETTER? We are already leaders in performance and usability with our sensors of the 18 series. The retro-reflective photoelectric sensors of the 18B series go a step further with numerous smart ideas and offer solutions that are unmatched in terms of handling and mounting as well as speed and performance.

MOUNT AND GO! The outstanding new feature of the 18B series is most certainly the calibrated optics of the sensors. This makes possible a sensor beam accuracy that actually eliminates the need for fine adjustment. Together with the integrated threads in the housing, mounting is child’s play. Extremely resistant housing coating The chemically nickel-plated housing enables use even in demanding environments with extremely short cleaning intervals and aggressive cleaning agents. Glass lens without front screen The elimination of an additional screen prevents reflections and reduces drop...

THIS SENSOR SIMPLY CAN’T BE BEAT This sensor offers you a number of practical advantages. ± 2.2 mm deviation over 500 mm ± 17.5 mm deviation over 500 mm PRECISION COMPLETELY REDEFINED The new sensor, with its auto-collimated lens, is up to eight times more precise than standard optics. With a maximum deviation of ± 0.25°, the light beam has a deviation of just ± 2.2 mm over a distance of 500 mm. This makes alignment of the sensor after mounting and, thus, expensive and complicated mounting parts practically unnecessary. MORE THAN THREE TIMES FASTER — HERE THAT MEANS — MORE THAN EIGHT TIMES...

MOUNTING CAN BE THIS EASY AND THIS FLEXIBLE PROCESS MONITORING DOWN TO THE LOWEST FIELD LEVEL The metal housing of the 18B series makes possible entirely new and simple mounting options with the integrated M4 thread. Sensors can’t do it alone. They are always integrated in a control which processes their signals. With the IO-Link interface of the 18B series, you can always access all process, parameter and diagnostic data. WE REMOVE THE DIRT THROUGH CALCULATIONS TEMPERATURE IS RELATIVE — RELATIVELY UNIMPORTANT! The quality of the detection is highly dependent on the cleanliness of the lens...

OUR PROMISE TO YOU SMARTER PRODUCT USABILITY With regard to our product developments, we systematically place emphasis on the especially good usability of all devices. To this end, simple mounting and alignment are taken into account — just as the uncomplicated integrability of the sensors in existing fieldbus systems and easy configuration, e.g. via a web browser, are. SMARTER APPLICATION KNOW-HOW Whoever can do it all, can do nothing right. Which is why we concentrate on selected target sectors and applications. There, we are specialists and know all aspects inside out. For this purpose,...
