Chemical-resistant stainless steel sensors

The PHOTOSWITCH 42CS family of photoelectric sensors are specifically engineered to address high-pressure and harsh chemical cleaning conditions, and these IP69K-rated sensors offer a wide range of sensing modes in a smooth or threaded 18mm 316L stainless steel housing with a hard plastic lens for enhanced reliability and long service life.
Smooth barrel models are designed to minimize the accumulation of undesired particles on the sensor’s body and to allow easier cleanup. An innovative ferromagnetic teach feature, offered on select sensing modes, allows users to easily adjust and optimize the sensing range to meet specific application demands.
The 42CS sensor family offers polarized retro-reflective, diffuse, transmitted beam, clear object detection and background suppression sensing modes. A background suppression sensor is specially designed to detect shiny objects that often go undetected by other such sensors if the object is approaching at a slight angle.
The 42CS photoelectric sensor family has been subjected to and certified to pass chemical compatibility testing by two independent labs, both of which are worldwide leaders in the development of cleaning and sanitizing products. In testing, the sensors were subjected to some of the most commonly used caustic cleaning agents and disinfectants in the food and beverage industry.
