Application Notes: Carlo Gavazzi PA18 Photoelectric Sensor

Monday, November 14, 2011 by Beckie Bordenaro
In addition to being 40% smaller than previous generations and offering longer sensing ranges, the Carlo Gavazzi PA18 18mm photoelectric sensors are ideal for the following applications:

The Carlo Gavazzi PA18 is IP69K rated for high pressure/high temperature applications. These photoelectric sensors also have ECOLAB certification for food and beverage apps.

Material Handling/Conveyors
Do you always have an issue with 18mm sensors sticking out from the mounting?

The Carlo Gavazzi PA18 series come with a new mounting bracket (APA18-MB1) which not only allows a fast mounting but also a smooth design. Objects will not hit the sensors and the convey can be easily cleaned.

Detection of Shiny Objects
It can sometimes be difficult to have a retro-reflective sensor sense a can or shiny object.

Using the polarized version of the Carlo Gavazzi PA18 sensor we can eliminate reflections from the can and only light from a reflector is detected!
