Safety sensors can be connected to a safety controller without additional cross-fault monitoring. Applications include reliable positioning of rotary indexing tables and machine tools, safe triggering of
slow travel or switching off in end positions for presses, gantry robots and actuators.

Contrinex’s ground-breaking SMART sensors offer machine designers efficiency gains, cost reductions, higher throughputs and
reduced waste. SMART photoelectric sensors are soon to be launched to complement the existing SMART inductive sensors.

The photoelectric sensors will offer SMART functions in addition to measuring distances
up to 300mm, in either 30 x 20 x 10mm C23 cubic or M18 cylindrical bodies.
