In addition to developing custom sensors for clients, Locon Sensor Systems also sells a variety of accessories that aid in maximizing your system’s productivity and safety levels. Let’s take a look at some of those accessories below.

Sensor Testers

Locon Sensor Systems offers a sensor tester with micro-USB socket. The tester works well with all types of sensors, from the most basic to the very complex, and it includes PNP/NPN recognition. Test results are indicated on an LED screen, as well as by an audio signal.

This battery operated system lasts for about two hours and is rechargeable through a universal phone charger. It’s a wonderful device to have around to ensure your system is running on point.

Power Cables

Connectivity is another important part of sensor design. Power cables can be tailored to your individual needs to meet safety requirements, yet are designed to withstand cleaning and washing. Proper cable connections allow for faster system implementation.

Mounting Clamps

Clamps are simple sensor support pieces that remain in place when sensors are being exchanged. They are easily adjustable and simplify the exchange process. Installed with little effort, mounting clamps will improve sensor performance and reduce downtime.

Photoelectric sensors have a wide range of applications in a variety of industries, and are a ubiquitous sensing device, commonly used in presence detection. According to Contrinex data sheets, the sensors are programmable to accommodate a broad spectrum of application requirements, including timing and sensitivity manipulation. These versatile sensors are incredibly durable as well, rated as IP 67 by the International Electrotechnical Commission.

With the addition of background suppression, these sensors offer more precise detection, depending on your application design. By using a reflective target and a position-sensitive device (PSD) to receive the return signal, the photoelectric sensor can be calibrated to distinguish between the signal returned from the target at a preset distance and interference from background objects, allowing for a more precise detection.

These sensors are also available in a variety of sizes and configurations. The mini rectangular sensors are available in industry standard 30 by 30 mm and 40 by 40 mm versions, while the rectangular sensors are sized at 60 by 80 mm. Locon Sensor Systems also specializes in creating unique solutions for clients with different sizing or configuration needs.

Representing some of the best sensing technology on the market, these new photoelectric sensors could the perfect solution for your business or operation.

Conveyor systems are a wonderful example of how technology can help companies become more productive, and help ease the burden of employees “working on the ground.” Conveyor systems are used by businesses in a variety of industries, including automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beverage manufacturers.

However, as is the case with any sort of system, all it takes is one component not functioning as it should for the entire system to breakdown and come to a screeching halt. This is especially true for conveyor systems, where, every component –large and small – has an effect on the capabilities of the overall system. One tiny sensor malfunctioning can cause a loss of production in even the most efficient companies.

That’s where Locon Sensor Systems can help. We manufacture miniature photoelectric sensors that are ideal for conveyor applications because of their small housings and large sensing ranges, with the capability to reliably and accurately detect items that are moving at a rapid pace. Our sensors work well in a variety of applications and have many unique options, including data monitoring and diagnostics capabilities.

Advantageously, our team of engineers can design and fabricate a custom sensor for your company to make sure your conveyor system continues to function at an efficient and profitable level. To learn more about the advantages and capabilities of our mini photoelectric sensors, please contact us today.
