Datasheet

Banner Engineering has announced the release of VS8 Series miniature sensors for precise detection in applications with extremely limited space. Sensors in the VS8 Series have a space-saving form factor (21.1x14.6x8mm) for use in confined spaces and near moving parts. They are available in red laser, red LED, or blue LED models with opposed, retroreflective, adjustable, or fixed-field background suppression sensing modes. This versatility allows companies to match the sensing technology to the application.

VS8 Series sensors detect very small parts and other difficult targets that challenge many sensors. Red laser models have a bright, precise spot for detecting multicoloured targets and objects as small as 0.5mm. Blue LED models reliably detect targets with dark or reflective surfaces and transparent objects without requiring a reflector. Red LED models are cost effective, multi-purpose sensors that detect a wide range of targets.

Industry standard side mounting holes with 15mm spacing facilitate installation on new or existing equipment. The dovetail mounting option allows ±10° tip/pivot adjustments for quick, precise alignment of the sensor. High visibility status LEDs, electronic push-button, and remote input teach make it easy to programme the sensors. These features support rapid integration and simplify operation.

VS8 Series sensors are suitable for a wide variety of applications in the automotive, electronics, pharmaceutical, robots, and semiconductor industries.
