Advantages of our LX Series (with Easy Color Adjust)

High performance photoelectric sensor of the LX series (with Easy Color Adjust)

Throughbeam photoelectric sensors up to +70 °C and up to + 200 °C for the detection of hot and cold material.

Proxitron light barriers of the LX series, with a number of functions and extremely high range, are ideal for the detection of hot and cold objects even under difficult environmental conditions. The sensors can be adjusted via software and teach function to the most different working conditions. The front optic lights up for simple installation over large distances and the alarm function provides warning against pollution and excessive temperature. An on- and off-delay can be adjusted to easily suppress occasional disturbances caused by water or steam. The sensors robust design guarantees safe operation also in case of vibrations.
The lens is made of high-quality, temperature-resistant glass and withstands radiated heat. For higher ambient temperatures housing variants with cooling jacket are available, as well as systems with fibre optic cable, optics and remote electronics.
