SCN-1402SC

Proximity sensors are defined as sensors that provide feedback or information when a certain object enters into its proximity. They are mainly used in automation and robotics to detect the presence or absence of an object or condition. The SCN-1402SC is a proximity sensor specifically designed for hygienic applications in the food industry. It is highly suitable for use in harsh sanitary and process automation environments where environments require the highest standards of hygiene during production and processing.

The SCN-1402SC is capable of detecting metal objects in closely located slots, and can detect objects as small as 0.8mm and as far as 400mm away, which makes it perfect for detecting metal objects at close proximity. The sensor is designed with an exposed metallic face that is resistant to moisture and chemicals, and is designed for easy installation with an IP67 ingress protection rating. Additionally, it can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C.

The SCN-1402SC works by creating an electromagnetic field and monitoring any changes that occur in the field when an object enters its proximity. It receives a signal from the field and transmits the signal to its electronic circuit, which sends an output signal to indicate the presence or absence of the object. Each sensor is set up when it is manufactured, and the sensing range can be manually adjusted if necessary.

The SCN-1402SC can be used in a variety of applications such as detecting the presence of products and packaging in food production and processing, and detecting parts in automotive production. The sensor is also very useful for detecting foreign objects in food production, ensuring that food items are free from contaminants. It can also be used in applications that require object detection in small spaces, such as automation and robotics.

The SCN-1402SC is a great choice for any application that requires highly reliable, accurate, and hygienic object detection at close proximity. Its rugged construction makes it perfect for use in harsh environments, and its highly adjustable sensing range makes it easy to customize for a wide variety of applications.
