PA18ALP20TCSA

Photoelectric sensors, also known as photoelectric switches or photo eyes, are ubiquitous in industrial andcommercial applications. Their primary purpose is to detect the presence of an object and then initiate the appropriate action. PA18ALP20TCSA is a type of photoelectric sensor that is widely used in industrial applications.

The PA18ALP20TCSA photoelectric sensor consists of an infra-red transmitter and receiver separated by a 6” to 24” gap. When an object passes through the gap, the infra-red light is broken up and the sensor detects the presence of the object. The sensor is then triggered and the appropriate action is taken.

The PA18ALP20TCSA is designed for continuous-duty, long-distance operation. It has a very wide operating range, from -25 degrees Celsius to 210 degrees Celsius, and can detect objects up to 24” away. The sensor is also capable of determining whether the object is solid or liquid, and can even measure the object\'s speed. The operational life of the sensor is up to 20 million cycles.

The PA18ALP20TCSA provides a variety of outputs, including pulsed and analog outputs. It is also compatible with many different types of industrial control systems. The sensor is also self-adjusting, so it can be used with objects of different shapes and sizes without needing any adjustments. This makes the PA18ALP20TCSA an ideal choice for applications such as presence detection in automated manufacturing and industrial processes.

In addition to its versatility, the PA18ALP20TCSA is also extremely reliable and durable. It features a shielded housing for extra strength and protection, and it is built with self-monitoring capabilities for added protection from disturbances or external influences. The sensor is also rated IP67 for added protection in wet and dusty environments.

Overall, the PA18ALP20TCSA photoelectric sensor is an ideal choice for industrial applications where reliable and accurate presence detection is needed. Its wide range of features, combined with its self-adjusting and self-monitoring capabilities, make it an ideal choice for automated applications in a variety of industrial settings.
