Optical sensors function contactlessly. They detect objects independent of their characteristics (e.g., shape, color, surface structure, material). The basic operating principle is based on the transmission and reception of light. There are three different versions: 1. The through-beam sensor consists of two separate devices, a transmitter and a receiver that are aligned with one another. If the light beam between the two devices is interrupted, the switching output integrated in the receiver changes its status. 2. With the retro-reflective sensor, the transmitter and receiver are located in one device. The emitted light beam is reflected back to the receiver by a reflector that is to be mounted opposite the device. As soon as the light beam is interrupted, the switching output integrated in the device changes its status. 3. With the diffuse reflection sensor, the transmitter and receiver are in one device. The emitted light beam is reflected by the object that is to be detected.

Displacement sensors models 8710 and 8711 with resistance tracks made of conductive plastic material are designed for a direct and accurate measuring of mechanical displacements. A special ball joint coupling is mountable on both ends of the driving rod. Because of this the sensor may be used free of clearance or lateral forces also with angular or parallel misalignment between sensor and measuring device. A special multi-fingered slider provides a good electrical contact also at high adjustment speeds or vibrations. Areas of application are: —Electromagnets —Switch and button deflections —Pneumatic cylinders —Press-fits (longitudinal press-fits) —Hydraulic cylinders —Measurements of deformation and bending —Length tolerances —Feeding paths Due to the technology employed in potentiometric displacement sensors, they always operate with a sliding contact system.

Four QuellTech Q6 3D- laser scanners are installed, mutually displaced by an angle of 90°. In this configuration, they are able to monitor the complete surface of the cable running through. It is important that the test does not lower the production speed, therefore very high sampling rates are required, supported by convenient data processing. The measured position of a defect is recorded in cable direction.

The CLS1000 controller is available in five different versions: CLS1000-QN with antivalence function (normally open/normally closed), CLS1000-2Q with two switching outputs, CLS1000-OC with optocoupler, CLS1000-AU with voltage output and CLS1000-AI with current output. Each model is available in NPN, PNP or push-pull versions. All controllers are available with or without triggers.

The optical level switches are ideal for the detection of fluids with low DK value, such as lubrication oil, hydrocarbons or solvents. Optical level sensors detect the change of the refractive index during medium contact at the sensor tip. The sensors with stainless steel housing and glass tip are also suited for the detection of aggressive media, such as solvents. the sensors are available with Ex certification according to ATEX and IECEx.
