March 31, 2008 - TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs added a background suppression model to its family of Tru-Vue photoelectric sensors. Tru-Vue background suppression sensors have a 50 mm sensing range and deliver consistent target detection regardless of target color and reflectivity, with detection unaffected by shiny machine panels or other background objects. These sensors also eliminate the expense and installation time of reflectors or thru-beam alignment. Tru-Vue background suppression sensors deliver tamper-proof operation in industry-standard housings, with versatile side-mount or snout-mount options to satisfy various application needs. Additionally, enhanced 360° LEDs provide power, output and diagnostic status indication in all directions, even from poor vantage points.
One of their most significant user benefits for all Tru-Vue models is Pepperl+Fuchs’ exclusive 4-in-1 output, which automatically detects the connected load and sinks or sources as needed. The result is significantly simplified sensor selection and stocking, as well as reduced installation time and cost. “Due to their compact size and simple installation and operation, Tru-Vue background suppression sensors are a cost effective solution for high changeover applications in the packaging, converting, material handling, assembly and automotive industries. And at just 29mm deep they are flexible enough to be mounted in tight confines where conventional 18mm cylindrical sensors simply won't fit,” says Jeff Allison, Pepperl+Fuchs Photoelectric Product Manager.
Pepperl+Fuchs is a world leader in the design, manufacture and application of high quality factory and process automation products and services. Pepperl+Fuchs pioneered the development of proximity sensors 45 years ago, and has set the standard for innovation and quality ever since.
