ASIC-based Sensors Withstand Washdowns
W12-3 Photoelectric Sensors for harsh washdown environments use a third-generation custom ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) that incorporates OES3 technology for background and foreground suppression at an extended range.
An OES3 chip contains proprietary technology that enables the sensors
to ignore stray background reflections, detect multi-colored/shiny
objects, and provide high immunity to ambient light. Both
non-programmable and potentiometer versions of the sensor feature an IP
69K-rated, die-cast zinc metal housing to withstand harsh cleaning
agents in food and beverage, packaging and pharmaceutical environments.
