The high-resolution smart photoelectric sensors offer a detection range from 5mm to 1.2m. They feature digital measurement and switching capabilities and are fully programmable. Their robust stainless-steel housings ensure reliable operation even in harsh environments and provide a IP68/IP69K rating.
In the fast-evolving world of Industry 4.0, Contrinex Smart Measurement Sensors are engineered to meet the demands of modern smart factories. Designed to reduce complexity and cut costs, these intelligent sensors integrate multiple sensing modes into a single unit, giving designers freedom and flexibility. With unparalleled versatility and seamless integration, these sensors are the key to unlocking a smarter, more efficient production environment.
Contrinex's smart sensors offer the benefits of the industry-standard IO-Link serial interface, or take it up a notch with high-speed, sensor-based decision-making using SIO (Sensor Input or Output). The innovative sensors, offer new sensing solutions and features for engineers to be imaginative and creative.
The PocketCodr configuration app enables engineers to create a customised sensor on their phone or tablet, without using a PLC or needing to write any code. The PocketCodr's 'No-Code' configuration works by providing real-time, on-screen data visualisation graphs of what the sensor is 'seeing' and intuitive icon-based 'Action Widgets' offer advice and guide users step-by-step through the configuration. The app also provides the remote sharing of configurations, which makes multi-engineer or multi-site collaboration effortless.
