Banner Engineering: Photoelectric sensor

Banner Engineering announces the T18-2 Series photoelectric sensor for washdown and thermal shock environments. It features an FDA-grade shatterproof plastic housing and is IP69K rated and ECOLAB™ certified to protect against water ingress and chemical washdown.

The sensor’s smooth surface and minimal crevices ensure easy cleaning.

In addition, the T18-2 housing is fully epoxy encapsulated to eliminate internal air cavities that can lead to condensation inside sensors during temperature cycling. The all-plastic sensor also features ultrasonically-welded joints for a durable seal that can withstand thermal shock with greater reliability than comparable metal sensors. This ensures reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -40 to +70°C.

Sensor setup and alignment are made simple thanks to a bright, visible red emitter (all models except infrared).The highly visible output and dual-function power and stability indicators make the sensors easy to use and troubleshoot

The new T18-2 is ideal for harsh environments such as meat or dairy processing, food and beverage processing and packaging, and cold storage applications.
