Banner Engineering introduces the VSM Series Micro Sensors, a cost-effective series of miniature photoelectric sensors that deliver high-performance in a compact package. The sensors provide an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications in a number of different industries, specifically those requiring smooth, hygienic designs such as food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals. Other applications include die sensing, part presence verification and assembly machines with articulated or reciprocating motion. The sensors are housed in a choice of a threaded or smooth, self-contained 4 mm barrel with 300 series stainless steel, or in flat-pack side-looking housing, making them easy to clean. Equipped with a sapphire lens, the sensors are able to resist a wide variety of chemicals and cutting fluids. Featuring an advanced convergent optical design, the sensors provide a repeatable sensing range with models available with a 10, 20, 50 or 90 mm sensing range, and up to 250 mm as a through beam. A narrow, well-focused sensing beam allows the entire sensor to be recessed into the fixture (excluding the 50 mm range model).
