Sensors & Transducers
AC/DC Dynamics has introduced the Datalogic product range of sensors and safety products into the South African market. Datalogic offers a complete line of type 2 and type 4 safety light curtains for machine safeguarding and access control in dangerous areas, with basic and advanced functions, such as integrated muting, override, blanking, cascadable, configurable models.
The new ranges of safety light curtains are a fully integrated series that combine the SAFEasy concept with applicative flexibility, reliability and performance, offering zero dead zone as a distinctive characteristic of all the models from 300 to 1800 mm.
The range offers High/Low resolution for finger, hand and body presence control.
With the growing demand for safety in the workplace, the S15 line offers the same safety features and sound designs and reliability as the other Datalogic sensors, however with its shorter barrel and IP69K protection rating on its protective plastic or stainless steel case, it offers a lot more. Benefits include:
* The S15 offers trimmer models that can be used instead of the standard tubular sensors (S51, S50, S5 series) when a shorter housing is needed or better degree of mechanical IP protection is required.
* Compatibility with S51 Series.
* Space savings as the barrel is much shorter than the standard sensor length.
* Cost savings, basic NPN or PNP output models available.
* It can be used in harsh environments with its enhanced durability.
* Greater sensing distances.
* Atex II 3DG certification.
This series has been developed to satisfy the requirements of applications in processing as well as packaging machinery. Beverage and bottling is a typical application for the S15 line and its strength is in assembly lines and conveyor belt lines in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
