Micro Detectors



MD Photoelectric

Photoelectric sensors 

Photo switches transmit a beam which is reflected back from a detected object (diffused) or from a reflector (retro-reflective) or can be used with a separate transmitter and receiver (through beam) typically used for longer distance sensing 
  • Ambient limits: -25 - +70°C
  • Supply protection: Polarity reversal, transient, short circuit
  • Housing material: PBT (plastic) available in metal on request 

MD Proximity

Proximity switches

Inductive sensors are used to sense metal objects and can be utilised in very difficult applications, even in the presence of oils, powders, liquids and vibration. They are commonly mounted on machine tools, textile machines, transport systems, packaging machines and all automation applications.
  • Protection degree: IP 67
  • Ambient limits: -25 - +70°C
  • LED indication: Incorporated
  • Short circuit and polarity reversal protection

MD Ultrasonic

Ultrasonic sensors   

UK series M18 cylindrical ultrasonic sensors sense in direct diffuse mode. A teach-in button is used to set working distance, output status (NO/NC) and slope of analog output and to change the function. All models are temperature compensated to ensure reliability throughout the entire detection range and are totally resin filled for applications subject to vibration offering an IP67 protection degree. 
    Cylindrical ultrasonic sensors
      UK series ultrasonic sensors IP67 (EN60529)
      • Sensitivity: Adjustable (via external teach-in)
      • Ambient limits: -20 - +60°C
      • Supply protection: Polarity reversal, transient
      • LED indication: Orange (output/regulation), green (echo reception)
      • Housing material: PBT plastic (AISI 316L stainless steel available on request)




      MD Vibration





      Vibration/ Inclination sensors

      New VBR series shock and vibration sensor incorporates a MEMS 3-axis accelerometer to monitor all accelerations and vibrations. Designed to be easy to use without any special training for operators.
      •  Programmable operating range: ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±16g
      • Reference axis: 3 (X,Y,Z)
      • Frequency range: 0 … 400Hz
      • Fully programmable in all its functions, thresholds, alarms and node addresses
      • 1 output RS485 (addressable with max 128 nodes)
      • 1 analogue output (programmable voltage or current)
