WORLD-BEAM Q12 Series
Overview
- Sets a new industry standard for ultra-miniature photoelectric sensors
- Features a housing just 22 by 8 by 12 mm, with bipolar NPN/PNP outputs
- Available in opposed, fixed-field, and polarized and non-polarized retroreflective sensing modes
- Delivers powerful sensing performance in extremely confined areas
- Rated IP67 for use in the widest range of locations and applications
- Available in models with rugged, sealed housing or PFA chemical-resistant jacket
- Mounts directly on or inside manufacturing equipment, with robust metal-lined mounting holes consistently located on all models
- Uses unique overmolded design for enhanced durability and shielding
- Available in dark- or light-operate models
