In addition to the traditionaldiffuse, retroreflectiveand thru-beam types, theBalluff opto line also offersspecial functions andversions including back-ground suppression,distance sensors and color-and contrast sensors.

For applications in difficultambient conditions, Balluffoffers a wide variety of high-performance fiber opticsensors with glass or plasticfiber optic cable and theassociated base units.

Redefined StandardsBOS 18KF, BOS 18KWOptosensors –redefined standards

The overhauled Series 18Khas not only a new look,but also features anexpanded range of modelsand improved technicalspecifications.

These sensors are availablewith red or infrared lightor with optional laser lightin protection class 1.Calibration is accomplishedusing either a potentiometeror by means of teach-in.

The plastic housing with flatsides allows them to beinstalled using the includedM18 nuts or by means ofscrews through the sensorbody.

The sensors are availablewith axial or radial opticswith cable or M12 connectorconfigurations and PNP orNPN output.
