Pepperl+Fuchs Intros Tru-Vue Series Photoelectric Sensors


New Products Apr 07, 2005 by Jeff Shepard

Pepperl+Fuchs (Twinsburg, OH) introduced its new Tru-Vue Series of photoelectric sensors, which feature side-mount or snout-mount options to satisfy various application needs and highly visible 360° LED indicators for status indication in all directions and from poor vantage points.

Tru-Vue sensors are well suited for material handling, conveyor and assembly applications. The sensors can be surface-mounted or mounted like 18 mm cylindrical sensors by the threaded nose. Additionally, the compact housing and small 29 mm housing depth make them flexible enough to be mounted where conventional 18 mm cylindrical sensors cannot.

Available sensing modes include diffused, polarized retro-reflective, and non-polarized retro-reflective. Five electrical connection options are available, including cabled, and both pig-tailed and integral connector types. Standard versions have sensitivity adjustments, but tamper-proof models are also available to eliminate adjustments by unauthorized personnel.
