PA18 Series Photoelectric Sensors
Carlo Gavazzi’s PA18 series photoelectric sensors provide space savings with an easy-to-clean solution for a variety of applications
Carlo Gavazzi's PA18 series offers a cost-effective solution for photoelectric sensor needs. The compact design and robust ABS housing provide space savings with an easy-to-clean solution for a variety of applications in material handling, textile, and food and beverage industries. Their longer sensing distance, high-speed operation, and improved LED diagnostics provide an excellent price-to-performance ratio. Being resistant to high temperatures, high pressure cleaning, strong cleaning agents, and disinfectants, these sensors are especially well-suited for reliable detection in harsh environments.
The PA18 series of diffuse reflective, retro-reflective, and through beam sensors is available in both axial (straight) and radial (90° right-angled) versions.
