MITY•EYE^® Miniature Photoelectric Sensors provide the same features and benefits of large, expensive sensors... at an affordable price. Interchangeable solid "optical grade" high impact lenses available for polarized, retroreflective, proximity, fiber-optic, or convergent sensing applications.

Designed for trouble-free operation, many features have been incorporated into the MITY•EYE^® to prevent mechanical or electrical damage and to provide trouble-free operation. The sensitivity pot is protected with a clutch to prevent damage from over-travel. The entire sensor is epoxy-encapsulated to ensure mechanical strength. The case itself is rugged and watertight.

LIGHT SOURCE SELECTION

Infrared Light Source
Invisible light – recommended in opaque object sensing applications. Infrared LED light source provides long-range sensing in either Beam Make or Beam Break modes. Infrared light maximizes the sensor’s ability to penetrate contamination found in harsh environments.

High Intensity Red
Recommended for long-range proximity sensing and for use with plastic fiberoptic light guides.

Red (Visible) Light Source
Visible red LED light source recommended for sensing transparent/translucent objects. Outperforms infrared light in many moderate to low contrast applications. Also recommended for use with plastic fiberoptic light guides.

Features and Options:

Cable or pigtail quick disconnect
NPN and PNP outputs or triac output, depending on model
Interchangeable optical blocks
500 microsecond response time on DC models
Potentiometer adjustment
Light On/Dark On switch
Bracket or through-hole mounting

Benefits:

Lower inventory costs
Reduced maintenance costs
Improve machine throughput
Easy to use
Small and compact for mechanical constraints

Interchangeable optical blocks provide for universal application of MITY•EYE^® to any sensing application sfrom large object sensing to finite sensing of small parts, and product inspection tasks.
