The magic formula of the M18 cube
Standard mounting + compact space saving = M18 Cube |
---|
Similarities among the cubes
- Compact rectangular housing for limited space combined with standard M18 thread
- High protection ratings and robust metal housing for harsh industrial environments
- Quick and easy setting of switch points via IO-Link or via pushbuttons
- Continuous visualisation of the distance value via IO-Link
Photoelectric sensor: For fast applications
- Background suppression und high switching frequency of 1000Hz for a fast operation
- Detection of light or dark objects on long distances
Ultrasonic sensor: For difficult surfaces
- Sensing range up to 1,2 m independent of colour, transparency or object’s surface shine
- Retro-reflective operation for orientation-independent object detection
PMD distance sensor: For precise detection
- Innovative on-chip time-of-flight measurement system with PMD technology for a very precise measurement up to 1.5 m
- Excellent reflection resistance, colour independence and background suppression for trouble-free and reliable operation
