Ultra-compact photoelectric sensing solutions from Autonics
April 2016
Sensors & Transducers
The ultra-compact type BTS and BTF series photoelectric sensors from Autonics Corporation are ideal for installation in limited spaces or compact sized applications. With built-in amplifiers and powerful sensing IC, the sensors offer powerful performances from their miniature bodies.
The BTF and BTS series sensors offer powerful sensing performances including long detection distance of up to 1 m (through-beam types) and minute object detection of targets as small as 15 mm diameter (BTS, convergent reflective type). The performance coupled with the tiny size allows the units to be the perfect sensing solution in various process applications. Other features including bright LED status indicators and stainless steel mounting brackets are also standard and the sensors carry an IP67 protection rating.
The flat type ultra-compact sensors BTF series are available in through-beam type (13 x 19 x 3,7 mm), diffuse reflective type (13 x 24 x 37 mm), and BGS reflective type (13 x 24 x 3,7 mm).
The slim type ultra-compact sensors BTS series are available in through-beam type (7,2 x 18,6 x 9,5 mm), retroreflective type (7,2 x 24,6 x 10,8 mm), and convergent reflective type (7,2 mm x 24,6 mm x 10,8 mm).
Autonics Corporation is a leading manufacturer and exporter of industrial automation products in South Korea. With strategic plans to increase distribution of its products and services to southern Africa, Autonics is looking to partner with qualified local distributors.
