Thru-Beam sensors from Proxitron are optimized for different applications. For our customers the ambient temperature in which a Thru-Beam sensor operates is an important parameter. Use our sensor selector to choose your through-beam sensor.
Proxitron Einweg-Lichtschranken eignen sich hervorragend zur Erfassung heißer und kalter Objekte und sind resistent gegen die Infrarotstrahlung anderer Wärmequellen. Dadurch sind diese Sensoren optimal für die Erfassung von Objekten in Öfen geeignet. Eine extreme Reichweite setzt neue Maßstäbe in Punkto Betriebssicherheit und Funktionsreserve und ermöglicht den Einsatz in schwierigsten Umgebungen.
Die robuste Bauweise garantiert den sicheren Betrieb auch bei Vibration. Die Optiken aus temperaturfestem Glas widerstehen Strahlungswärme. Für höhere Umgebungstemperaturen stehen Bauformen mit Kühlmantel oder Versionen mit abgesetzter Elektronik, Lichtleitkabel und Optik zur Verfügung.

High performance photoelectric sensor of the LX series (with Easy Color Adjust)
Proxitron light barriers from the LX series with a wide range of functions and an extremely long range allow hot and cold objects to be detected even in difficult ambient conditions.
The sensors can be adapted to a wide range of application conditions using software and teach-in. The optical display of the sensor simplifies installation even at large sensor distances, while an alarm function signals contamination and high temperatures. With the adjustable switch-on and switch-off delay, temporary faults caused by water or steam can be conveniently suppressed. The robust design guarantees safe operation even in the event of vibration. The temperature-resistant glass optics withstand radiant heat. For higher ambient temperatures, designs with a cooling jacket or versions with remote electronics, fibre optic cable and optics are available.
