In the month of April, Autonics is happy to announce the arrival of our IO-Link communication devices. With the flexibility of being able to exchange information between sensor and control layers, your applications and integrations can be made much easier and more compact. Alongside these new products, keep an eye open for further focus on applications within the Material Handling industry.
PRD Series – Long-Distance Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensors:
The PRD series cylindrical inductive proximity sensors are available in standard and IO-Link communication models. The sensors feature long sensing distances and excellent noise immunity. Available in various sizes and sensing distances, the high performance cylindrical inductive sensors can be used in diverse applications requiring non-contact detection of metallic objects. The sensors also feature strain relief cables for improved flexural strength and durability.
Main Features:
- DC 4-wire M12, M18, M30 size IO-Link communication models have been added to the lineup
- Operation indicator (red LED)
- Communication indicator for IO-Link model (orange, green LED)
- IP67 protection structure (IEC standard)
- Strain relief cables: improved flexural strength of cable connecting component (except M8 models)
- PTFE coating prevents malfunctions caused by welding spatter (spatter-resistant model)
