Prism 18mm tubular photoelectric sensors

Sensors and limit switches

Tough-built sensor

Prism series 18mm tubular sensors provide a flexible isolated output and twice the optical gain of other sensors in this product class. These cost-effective sensors offer forward and right-angle viewing models that feature identical gain and optical characteristics for the best fit.

Core features of Prism 18mm tubular photoelectric sensors

Gain control allows for quick adjustment for peak optical performance in a variety of applications
Visible red sensing beams make it easy to see where the sensors are aimed for quick set-up
Unique threaded body allows for quick mounting in a 19mm (3/4-inch) hole or against any flat surface
Internal components are rigidly sealed in a solid encapsulated housing for excellent performance in high shock and high vibration applications

High sensing power enables functionality for longer ranges
High noise immunity greatly reduces problems associated with electrical noise
All models feature a quick, 3 ms response time
Isolated outputs offer wiring flexibility
