January 12, 2009 - Pepperl+Fuchs introduces F12 Series Ultrasonic Sensors. These sensors offer simple push-button programmability, and feature user-selectable beam widths to provide reliable detection over a wide or narrow area. They provide an 800mm sensing range with a very small 50mm deadband, and a rotatable M12 quick-disconnect for easy connectivity. Indicator LEDs provide high-visibility status indication. Push-pull, 4-20mA, 0-10V outputs are available.
F12 series ultrasonic sensors have a rugged IP65 rated housing and footprint of just 41.5mm x 49mm x 15mm, ideal for operating in tight confines and sensing through narrow areas, even in harsh application environments. As a result, they are well suited for use in any number of automation applications such as web loop control, detecting packages or parts on conveyors, detecting product inside a box, level control and clear bottle detection in the printing, packaging, material handling, food and beverage, machine tool and automotive industries, among others.
F12 series ultrasonic sensors also feature Pepperl+Fuchs’ exclusive 4-in-1 output, which automatically detects the connected load and sinks or sources as needed. The result is significantly simplified sensor selection and stocking, as well as reduced installation time and cost.
