This family of miniature photoelectric sensors raises the bar on performance with a light spot that is optimized for easier alignment and more consistent detection. It also has the greatest optical power and longest sensing distances in its class, up to 30 meters (98 feet), which is 50% greater than most competitive models. Its unique LED technology, called PowerBeam™, means not only can it sense objects much farther than competitive housings with its footprint, but also with increased optical signal strength for improved resistance to dust or contaminants on the lens. The new light spot is a significant differentiator not just because it is more powerful, but also because of its sharply defined shape and lack of a central sensing void, or the black circle common to some conventional sensor light spots. This sharp and consistent light spot ensures that a target is detected reliably over the entire beam pattern. Pepperl + Fuchs ML100 photoelectric sensors provide a more powerful, user friendly, and rugged solution while being cost-effective. Enhanced status indication actively details for the user what the photoelectric sensor is doing at any given moment. And because the status LEDs are highly visible from 360º, users can quickly ascertain the sensor’s status. The Pepperl + Fuchs ML100 series of photoelectric sensors provide an industry-standard mounting pattern, but are far more durable than a typical sensor with the same mounting style. Where most competitive models have plastic threaded holes that are extremely susceptible to damage during mounting due to excessively applied torque, the ML100 series feature metal bushings for exceptional durability. The ML100 series boasts what is among the lowest current consumption in its class; many competitive models have a current consumption rating that is 25-50% higher than the ML100. Lower current consumption directly translates into energy savings, and also cuts costs because fewer power supplies can support a larger number of sensors. The ML100 provides automatic crosstalk protection, meaning that two ML100 sensors can be used together without any mounting restrictions. They are also highly immune to ambient light, even in environments using high frequency energy-saving fluorescent lights. Additionally, a broader temperature rating (-30°C to 60°C; -22°F to 140°F) means the ML100 provides more reliable operation in both lower temperature and higher temperature environments, including cold storage areas, compared with competitive options. The ML100 series is cULus listed. Typical Applications |
