Lainate, June 2018 - Carlo Gavazzi Automation, the international electronics group with activities in the design,manufacture and marketing of electronic equipment, presents the new ICS and ICB families with integrated IO-Link communication.

The ICS08 series represents the ideal solution for industrial automation equipment in applications where space is limited, but long switching distance is needed. It is available in a stainless steel housing, with an M8 plug and 2m PVC cable connection for flexible mounting.

The new generation of the ICB series is a complete family of high performance inductive sensors for contactless and wearfree detection of metallic objects in industrial automation applications. It is available in a nickel-plated brass housing in three diameters: M12, M18 and M30, with an extended sensing distance range between 4 and 22 mm.

Once connected to an IO-Link master, these sensors can be easily and completely configured, enabling additional advanced functionalities such as the detection counter (RPM) and the speed controller. Each sensor now becomes fully programmable and allows hundreds of configurations in one single device.

“This full range of IO-Link inductive sensors, from M8 to M30, enables us to enter Industry 4.0, as IO-Link is considered the universal “USB port” for industrial automation, and our offer will soon be enlarged with 2 other additional series,” Aldo Caputo, International Product Manager, says. “With this launch Carlo Gavazzi’s intention is to strengthen its position on the market, by providing reliable and high-performance inductive sensors with advanced technological content.”

Developed in our Competence centre in Denmark, these IO-Link inductive sensor series have been designed to meet requirements from markets such as: Plastic & rubber, Materials handling, Packaging and Machine tools, and to provide more and more tailored solutions so as to perfectly fit any application need.

Lainate, May 2018 - Carlo Gavazzi Automation, the international electronics group with activities in the design,manufacture and marketing of electronic equipmentpresents the new PD86xAP12..sensor, specifically designed for industrial doors.

This photoelectric sensor has been developed from the PMP12 sensor series, whose very solid value has been proven by over 1 million pieces sold in the doors market.Its long sensing distance of 12 m and the 80 mm-diameter reflector ensure a large operational margin even when installed in dusty environment or when exposed to harsh conditions.

The PD86 new design includes a protective cover made of ZAMAK5 or polycarbonate and a watertight construction with no visible screws, so as to avoid acts of vandalism and corrosion, which could cause a decrease in sensing distance.

“One of the main features of this sensor is its easy alignment by means of a single screw for horizontal and one for vertical adjustment of the PCB inside the housing, making this product highly flexible and adaptable to any installation,” Torben Rochat, International Product Manager, says. “We believe that the launch of this new device will allow us to strengthen our position in the market dedicated to doors, fulfilling the ever-growing requirements for a modern and friendly design for industrial doors.”

Developed in our Competence center in Denmark, the PD86 is used to detect the presence of people and/or vehicles in Industrial Door applications.

Main technical features
• 12-24 V AC/DC power supply
• Detection angle +/- 1.5 degrees
• Horizontal and vertical alignment of +/- 4.5 degrees
• Cable exit on the back or through an opening in the ZAMAK or polycarbonate housing
• Proven immunity against foreign light
• SPST relay output
• Strong housing in Basalt Grey ZAMAK or polycarbonate,front-glass in Red- PMMA
• Fixed or detachable screw terminals
• Dipswitch for inverting the relay
• Dipswitch for setting the test input to a normally high or normally low position.
• Two leds, yellow for output on and the green LED for power and dirty lens or misalignment indication
• -25° to +60 °C
• UL325 and UL508 approved
• Compliant with EN12445, EN12453 and EN12978 regulations, ESPE cat. 2, PL. C
• High immunity against water IP66
