A comprehensive overview of Contrinex photoelectric sensor families, covering diffuse, background suppression, retro‑reflective, through‑beam, analog…
The document presents the full range of Contrinex photoelectric sensors, highlighting key technology families such as diffuse, background‑suppression, retro‑reflective, through‑beam, analog output, color, contrast and distance‑measurement sensors. Each family is described with its operating principle, typical sensing ranges and available housings.
Additional sections list part numbers, mechanical dimensions, IP ratings and special features like IO‑Link integration, fiber‑optic amplifiers and rugged housing options for harsh environments. The catalogue serves as a reference for selecting the appropriate sensor type and model for industrial automation applications.
| Diffuse sensing range | 0 – 1500 mm |
|---|---|
| Background suppression sensing range | 0 – 5000 mm |
| Retro‑reflective sensing range | 0 – 8000 mm |
| Through‑beam sensing range | 0 – 50 000 mm |
| Analog output distance range | 10 – 100 mm |
| IP rating for distance sensors | IP69K |
Retro‑reflective sensors can detect targets up to 8 m (8000 mm) away.
The sub‑miniature C12 sensors have the smallest housing, Ø 4 mm.
Analog sensors provide either current or voltage outputs compatible with modern control systems.
The C55 distance sensor is rated IP69K.
