Molex Contrinex Inductive and Photoelectric Sensors
End-product size in the industrial market is becoming smaller while, at the same time, more components are required for new functions. Product designers face design issues due to space constraints. Contrinex Inductive and Photoelectric Sensors are the smallest to-date self-contained miniature sensors on the market.
Detecting clear or transparent objects (e.g., glass, transparent film, liquid, etc.) is extremely challenging. Contrinex Photoelectric Sensors (Ecolab approved) use patented UV technology to detect transparent objects. These sensors ensure transparent object detection up to 1200.00mm range.
Automotive and Industrial Automation OEMs require sensors that are resistant to shock, vibration and chemicals. Contrinex Inductive Sensors have a one-piece stainless steel construction. Rated to IP68 and IP69K and sized from M8 to M30, the sensors allow sensing distances up to 40.00mm.
- IP67 rated enables use in outdoor applications
- ASIC technology
- Smallest self-contained miniature inductive sensors with IO-link
- Vibration and shock resistance makes these sensors withstand harsh environments
- Industrial (non-Robotics)
- Automotive (non-EV)
- Other
Packaging machines, material handling, food and beverage, filling plant, textile, machine tools, mobile equipment, logistics, welding machines, assembly lines, paint shops
