Series 4050

Photoelectric Sensors

Thanks to its vision for innovation and technological enhancement, Contrinex keeps on setting new standards in the sensor world. The latest being a highly technologically advanced photoelectric sensor, in an industry standard size housing, with extended operating distance, capable of sensing independent of remission and surface of the target. The diffuse sensor with background suppression has large setting dynamics (25...500 mm), abnormal for sensors with electronic setting.

Key Features

• Detection is independent of the target remission and surface
• Stable detection over the whole distance
• With a switching frequency of 500 Hz reliable detection of small and fast moving parts is guaranteed
• Vibration and shock resistant
• Insensitive to ambient light influences (e.g. flash lights)
• Fixed optics with large setting dynamics (20:1)
  
  

The highlight in this family is indisputably the diffuse sensor with background suppression and its patented double optic system. The double optics allow Contrinex to have large setting dynamics of 20:1 with fix optics which makes the sensor vibration and shock resistant. Furthermore you will find that there is no black/white shift up to 300mm which ensures secure detection of the smallest black parts on a white background that would normally be invisible to sensors in this category.

To complete the family, Contrinex offers a color sensor with 3 channels that are easy to teach and have independent outputs. For each channel the timing and tolerance level can be set to ensure reliable detection of the slightest color differences.

Implementing the series 4050 will increase your machine reliability, make your system more profitable and give you the edge on your competitors.

Proximity Switches

Contrinex produces a wide range of proximity switches, including virtually all the common standardized inductive and photoelectric types. However, our specialty is high- performance devices; advanced high performance developed using innovative techniques. That’s why the Contrinex product range stands head and shoulders above the rest. Subminiature devices with no compromise on electrical specifications.

• The world’s smallest self-contained inductive proximity switch, only 3 mm in diameter and 22 mm long
• The world’s smallest self-contained photoelectric proximity switch, only 4 mm in diameter and 35 mm long
• A complete range of other miniature devices to cover all needs
• Devices with very long operating distances

The pioneer of devices with very long operating distances:
Contrinex has been producing inductive proximity switches for over 20 years. It is the undisputed market leader in this field, as confirmed by its two patented technologies Condist and Condet. Devices made using Condist technology have operating distances 2.2 to 4 times greater than the standard requires. These are the longest operating distances available on the market and far exceed anything the competition can offer.

The use of the recently introduced Condet technology permits long operating distances even on non-ferrous metals. In the case of aluminum for instance, they are up to eight times greater than with standard devices.

Severe operating conditions:
(high pressure, extreme temperatures, aggressive media) Two new ranges of proximity switches, one completely sealed and the other pressure-resistant, have recently been made available. Both exhibit outstanding behavior under the most severe operating conditions. Not only that, but they also resist extreme pressure and temperature cycles. The secret? A new technology from Contrinex which allows perfect seals to be made between metals and ceramics. Highly effective, low cost, and above all, uniform and lasting quality.

Extreme physical robustness, all-metal housings:
The most sensitive part of a conventional proximity switch is its sensing face. Unfortunately, it is also where it is the most vulnerable to mechanical damage from moving objects. Even more unfortunately, because it usually needs to be electro-magnetically transparent in order for the magnetic field to pass through, it is generally made of plastic, an inherently weak material. This problem is entirely overcome by using devices made using Contrinex’s Condet technology. They have a one-piece stainless steel housing, sensing face included. Not only does this give greater mechanical resistance, but the seam-free housing also eliminates permeability problems. Two birds killed with one stone!
