Mechanical convergent-beam sensor’s light source and receiver opto-elements are positioned in the
housing so that sensing takes place where the optical patterns cross. The sensing beam is intense at the
0.5" convergent point, excellent for sensing materials of low reflectivity and very small targets such as wire
or thread; also effective for reflective sensing in areas where background suppression is a requirement.
Visible red models are useful in some high-contrast color registration applications.
*NOTES:
• 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., SE612C W/30).
• High-speed models may be ordered by adding suffix “MHS” to the model number of any standard ECONO-BEAM dc sensor (e.g., SE612CMHS).
Response time for these sensors decreases to 1 millisecond; faster response comes at the expense of lower excess gain.
