Description
The 45LSP is a family of optical fork sensors housed in a plastic
enclosure. Fork sensors offer self-contained transmitted beam sensing,
ideal for applications that require reliable parts detection. A simple
push button teach-in sensitivity adjustment, several connection options
and multiple mounting features (via side thru-holes, rear threaded
inserts or optional dovetail bracketry) make the 45LSP an economical,
easy-to-use solution for typical applications such as small part
detection, edge detection, part counting, gear tooth detection and
dimension verification.
Features
•Detection of objects as small as 0.2 mm (0.0078 in.)
•Highly visible power and output LED indicators with output
indication along both sides of the fork
•Remote teach and teach button lock on 4-pin models
•Light or dark operate selectable
•Multiple mounting options: thru-holes, threaded holes and
dovetail
•Easy installation with no alignment required
•IP67 enclosure
