The S10 series, in a practical and sturdy tubular M18 metal housing, suits the more difficult applications in the mechanical or food industries. The IP69K mechanical protection guarantees resistance to washdown with water jets at high temperatures reaching 80°C and pressure reaching 100 bar. Moreover, AISI-316L stainless steel versions are available for a major resistance towards chemical agents and aggressive detergents as well as to acid corrosion. The lens in PMMA plastic offers the possibility of mounting a glass MEK-proof protection. A reflector with IP69K mechanical protection is available for the retroreflex versions.
The S10 series includes adjustable proximity versions reaching 10, 35 or 60 cm and 14 mm fixed focus proximity, 4 m retroreflex and 3 m polarised retroreflex, 0.8 m retroreflex for transparents as well as 18 m through beam models.
The M12 connection requires only 3 wires for power supply and NPN or PNP output.

The S12M series includes a basic line of photoelectric sensors developed in the standard tubular M12 format.
The diffuse proximity is available in different versions: a 10 cm fixed operating distance model with visible red emission, or a model with trimmer adjustable distance from 0 to 30 cm and infrared emission.
The sensitivity adjustment trimmer and visible red emission characterise the 1 m polarised retroreflex models and the 5 m through beam models. A yellow LED indicating the activation of the PNP output is present in all models. The tubular metal housing includes the M12 connector inside one single block, guaranteeing reduced dimensions and the maximum protection degree.

The main characteristic of the new M18 tubular S15 3 wire + 1 for NO (NC) Selection sensors is the housing length of only 40 mm, especially suitable for applications with reduced space. The new S15 series is available with cable output, in order to maximise the concept of ‘reduced dimensions’ as well as to offer contemporaneously the best installation flexibility. The S15 series is supplied without the sensitivity adjustment trimmer to ease and speedup installation. This feature drastically reduces the possibility of allowing the operator to modify the sensor’s performances and so guaranteeing major reliability and productivity. The main optic functions used in the industrial market are available, polarised retroreflex, non-polarised retroreflex, diffuse proximity and through beam.
These sensors are ideal for the most critical applications with harsh environmental conditions thanks to the IP69K mechanical protection.

The S5 series offers a range of plastic tubular M18 photoelectric sensors.
The most varied optic functions can be chosen amongst the fixed focus or diffuse proximity models with short, medium or long operating distances reaching 60 cm; the 4 m retroreflex, 3 m polarised retroreflex and 1 m for detection of transparent materials; the 12 m through beam and models with fibre-optic connection.
Different versions with either axial or radial optics are available. The series offers connector or cable connection, 3 wire Vac versions or 4 wire Vdc versions with complete configuration of the NPN/PNP output and dark/light mode.
A red LED indicating the output status is visible on the bottom side of the sensor. The versions with trimmer adjustment present also a green LED signalling the switching stability according to the received signal’s intensity.
The rugged ABS housing always guarantees IP67 protection.

The S50 series offers all optical functions within a M18 housing. With the universal sensing functions of proximity, polarised retroreflex and through beam, which are also available with class 1 laser emission, as well as the more advanced functions of background suppression, background/foreground suppression, analogue displacement, contrast and luminescence, the S50 really is one housing for all applications.
The S50 setting is carried out-by either by potentiometer, which is sealed to IP67, or using the patented EASYtouch™ push-button teach system, which gives rapid and precise automatic setting of the switching points.
The S50 series is available both in flat plastic format ideal for M18 nut or screw mounting through the sensor body, as well as a cylindrical metal housing. Axial or radial optics are available in both housings with integral cable or M12 connection conforming to EN 60947-5-2, the European wiring standard. The performance, versatility and extensive optical sensing options, positions the S50 series as the new bench mark for customers focused on the evolution of technology and development of standards.

The S51 series offers the most cost-effective solution in M18 photoelectric sensors which is today improved thanks to the increase of the operating distances. The range includes the tubular metal housing as well as a brand news flat plastic housing which make installation. The tubular plastic and metal models are both available with either axial or radial optics; in both cases the optic head and lenses do not protrude beyond the external 18 mm diameter of the sensor housing.
The diffuse proximity model presents a 10 cm fixed operating distance with wide emission spectrum and the another model with 1 - 40 cm trimmer-adjustable operating distance. Standard retroreflective models have an operating distance up to 4 m whilst the polarised retroreflective models used for reliable detection of reflective objects are fitted with sensitivity adjustment and have a 3.5 m operating distance. The emitter and receiver models, used for longer operating distances, reach 18 meters.
The sensors of the S51 series, with cable or M12 connector and PNP or NPN output, provide a 3 wire connection configuration in compliance with the EN60947-5-2 standard, having the normally open output which is activated in the light mode in the proximity models and in the dark mode in the retroreflex models. The output mode can be inverted using the dark/light selection input wire provided.

The M18 tubular sensors of the SDS series, thanks to the background
suppression proximity optic system, precisely detect all objects inside the set
operating distance, independently from colour and rear fixed or moving objects.
The photoemitter is a red light LED that generates a visible circular spot; the receiver is a PSD (Position Sensitive Device) photoelement sensitive to the incident light's position.
A good vibration immunity and a low detection difference between lighter or darker objects are obtained as there are no moving parts for the optic triangulation.
The background suppression distance setting is precisely obtained by means of a multi-turn trimmer.
Normally open and normally closed outputs are both present with standard configuration.

The range of measurement and inspection devices is enriched thanks to the introduction of new ultrasonic M18x1 ABS tubular sensors of the US18 series. Models with axial or radial acoustic emission and with discrete bipolar output (1 NPN and 1 PNP) or with 4-20 mA or 0-10 V analogue output are available. The extremely reduced blind zone and the unequalled 5 ms response speed are only two of the many features that are worth highlighting. The sensors are easily configured through the Teach-in function, while the operating status is visibly signalled by 2 bi-coloured LEDs. The temperature compensation function corrects the sound speed changes due to temperature variations, so the sensor precision remains unchanged in all situations and a 0.5 mm resolution is guaranteed. The electrical connection is accomplished through standard M12 5-pole connectors. The new US18 ultrasonic sensors detect all objects independent from the non soundabsorbent material, reflectivity, transparency and colour, thus perfectly suiting applications in the automotive, packaging, machine tool fields and material transformation processes.
