Traditional analog sensing is applied in two non-traditional housing styles in the Bi20R-Q14-LU ring style and the Wi70-M18-LIU5 probe style sensors.
The Bi20R-Q14-LU is a 3-wire, 15-30VDC sensor with a 0-10V output in a ring style housing with a 20mm diameter hole. This sensor is well-suited for identification and sorting of small parts, as the sensor generates a different output signal for each size part. The Wi70-M18-LIU5 is a 4-wire, 15-30VDC analog sensor with either a 0-10V or 4-20mA output. Housed in a standard 18mm barrel, the 75mm probe has a linear operating distance of 70mm. This probe-style sensor can detect all metals and can be used in a variety of areas, such as the positioning of metal parts as they move over the length of the probe. Both the Bi20R-Q14-LU ring style and the Wi70-M18-LIU5 probe style sensors are specified with a repeatability of less than 0.5 percent and linearity of 3 percent.
