Sensors

Photoelectric Sensors Carlo Gavazzi offers a large range of photoelectric sensors which are used extensively on packaging machinery, automatic door systems, and in car washes. Sensors are available in diffuse reflective, background suppression, reto-reflective, polarized, through beam, clear object detection, and colour recognition. Also offered is a range of fibre-optic type sensors for applications where a conventional sensor cannot be used (space restrictions, temperature, atmosphere). Also included in the range are VP series optical types. These are ideal for use in level applications. They are available in various housing materials which allow their use in various industrial cleaning solutions.
Ultrasonic Sensors Carlo Gavazzi’s UA Series ultrasonic sensors are designed for both distance measurement and object detection in tough environments. The range consists of both M18 and M30 housings. Discrete output types are available for presence and absence detection, and are ideally suited for detecting objects,such as transparent objects, that cannot be reliably detected by other sensors. Analogue output types are available on our sensors for applications requiring a measurement of the target object, such as detecting the level of fluid in a tank. The analogue models have your choice of 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA outputs. More advanced ultrasonic sensor models incorporate teach functions, which allow the set-points to be configured with the push of a button, and via Windows-based software for applications where greater control of sensor parameters and variables is required. The Windows version also allows for settings to be saved and downloaded to multiple devices.
Capacitive Sensors Carlo Gavazzi's patented Tripleshield™ Capacitive Sensors have become the standard all other manufacturers are measured against. All Tripleshield™ sensors are tested to withstand electrostatic discharges up to 40 KV, line transients up to 4 KV, and airborne noise (ie. cellular phones) up to 15 V/m. Furthermore, some models have built-in humidity compensation. Capacitive sensors will detect most materials - conductive and non-conductive. This makes them ideal for level detection in raw plastic delivery systems and in agricultural applications. Sensors are available in 12 mm, 18 mm, and 30 mm diameter with both AC and DC outputs. We offer both plastic and metal housings with either a built-in cable or a connector. Sensors have adjustable sensitivity making them ideal for your level sensing applications. Furthermore, many models feature our Touch Mode programming for setting sensitivity levels and output status.
Limit Switches Carlo Gavazzi offers a comprehensive range of high quality limit switches perfectly suited for a wide variety of sensing applications. Offered is a wide variety of actuating heads and numerous housing sizes in either plastic or metal. Connections are made via a 1/2 inch conduit entry. On request we also offer it with PG13.5, PG11, M20x1.5, or M16x1.5 conduit entry. Various output configurations are available in slow and snap action. Many models also feature force break contacts. Limit switches are frequently used in position detection on doors and machinery and parts detection on conveyors and assembly lines.
