Carlo Gavazzi is proud to announce a new generation of photoelectric sensors in the industry-standard M18 housing size. This next generation PA18 brings new features, longer sensing ranges, and new options - in a housing that is 40% smaller than previous generations!

In addition to being more compact, a new radial design option has an integrated mirror for right angle sensing, thus increasing the sensor’s application potential.

Included with every sensor is a new snap mounting bracket that allows for flush mounting with a single jam nut. The new PA18 is also IP69K rated for high pressure/high temperature downs, with ECOLAB certification for food & beverage applications.

This powerful PA18 sensor series, with its cost effective, compact design and robust ABS housing, offers a space saving and easy-toclean solution for a variety of applications in e.g. material handling, textile and food & beverage industries.

Due to their longer sensing distance, their high-speed detection and their improved LED diagnostics, the PA18 sensors provide an excellent price to performance ratio. Being resistant to high temperatures, high pressure cleaning, strong cleaning agents and disinfectants, these sensors are especially well suited for reliable detection in harsh environments.

With the launch of the next generation PA18, we will be phasing out the older generation. A complete cross-reference from the older series to the newer types can be found by clicking the link.
