AutomationDirect has added new ProSense D80 series large rectangular proximity sensors to their extensive lineup of inductive proximity sensors. This series offers long sensing distances up to 60mm, large sensor faces, and robust IP65- or IP67-rated PPE housings for harsh industrial environments. These “pancake” style proximity sensors are available with 80 x 40 x 105mm or 80 x 40 x 92mm housing dimensions, AC- or DC-power options, and a variety of termination styles.

AutomationDirect has added new Wenglor OPT series cylindrical and rectangular ultrasonic sensors. These new sensors, available in diffuse and through-beam sensing styles, offer sensing distances up to 2000mm, rugged stainless steel and plastic housings, and protection ratings up to IP68 for use in challenging industrial environments. Wenglor ultrasonic sensors are IO-Link v1.1 compatible, offering advanced configuration options such as through-beam, synchronous, and mute operating modes, window teach-in, and external temperature compensation. These sensors are easy to set up and install and are UL listed, CE marked, and RoHS compliant.

AutomationDirect has added more Contrinex small rectangular sensors to their extensive lineup of inductive proximity sensors. These compact 12mm x 27mm x 6.5mm and 12mm x 27mm x 12mm inductive proximity sensors are non-flush mounted, have a 4mm sensing distance, and feature NPN or PNP switching outputs with N.O. or N.C. operation. Top and front sensing versions are available and all PNP models are IO-Link v1.0 compatible. The sensors have a rugged polycarbonate housing with an IP67 protection rating and are CE marked, UL approved, and RoHS compliant.
