VisiSight photoelectric sensors are compact and versatile

Allen-Bradley VisiSight photoelectric sensors offer a full range of sensing modes in a sealed, compact, cavity-free housing that minimises the collection of dust and debris while allowing for easy cleaning. The rectangular housing features industry-standard 25.4mm (1in) mounting hole spacing, but can also be used with an optional snap-on 18mm nose-mount adaptor. Furthermore, all models have a visible red light source for ease of alignment during setup and maintenance, and a stability indicator that flashes if the signal level is too close to the detection threshold.

The patented ASIC used in the VisiSight also offers linear sensitivity adjustment as well as excellent noise immunity. Diffuse models with 800mm (31.5in) sensing range provide adjustable sensitivity while polarised retro-reflective models are available in adjustable or fixed sensitivity versions with 3.5m (11.5ft) sensing range. Transmitted beam models provide 10m (32.8ft) sensing distance and are also offered in infrared LED source models for superior crosstalk immunity.
