High-performance Luminescent Sensors

Dec. 1, 2009
The LUT8 and LUT9 luminescent sensors react to luminescent pigments, which are activated by a UV light source in the sensor. 

These cost-competitive, high-performance sensors provide longer sensing ranges and more selection models than previous versions, says the vendor. The LUT9 also offers additional advancements, including selectable dual-light ports, IO-Link for remote monitoring and 2-point teach-in. The LUT8 and LUT9 offer wavelength adjustments to easily identify difficult-to-detect luminescence characteristics, particularly luminescent marks in recycled materials. Different light spot patterns and a high visibility bar graph display, which illuminates when the higher luminescent intensity is detected, provide increased installation flexibility.
