Banner Engineering TM18 EZ-BEAM compact photoelectric sensor

Banner Engineering has introduced the latest version of its TM18 EZ-BEAM compact photoelectric sensor for use in heavy duty environments. The TM18 has a nickel-plated, die-cast zinc metal housing and epoxy encapsulated electronics. Rated IP69K, it provides good durability and resistance in harsh sensing environments, especially in high pressure washdown applications.

Featuring a compact, right angle shape, an 18 mm threaded barrel mount and integral all metal M12 quick disconnect, the sensor can fit in tight places and avoid damage during machine assembly, transport, maintenance and operation.

Featuring visible red emitter LED models - available in opposed, polarised retroreflective, diffuse and fixed-field (background suppression) modes - the sensor aligns to the target.

This makes the device suitable for providing reliable sensing on conveyors in heavy duty machine settings, motor vehicle machining and production equipment.
