Minimizing Expenses and Saving Space in Contactless Hand-Sanitization Equipment Using Compact Dual-Mode Photoelectric Sensors

Automated, contactless operation has grown to be the norm for hand sanitization, and dispenser producers require robust, cost-effective sensors to figure out the presence of people's hands. Dispensing water and soap traditionally demands distinct sensors for precise delivery, however cutting-edge structures use identical sensors for both application. Designers need compact, user-programmable dual-output sensors resistant to liquid ingress and mechanical shock.

Compact, vigorous and featuring IO-Link multi-mode functionality, M18M metal-bodied photoelectric sensors tick all the boxes for dispenser producers. These diffuse-mode sensors are insensitive to a size, color, form and texture, and feature a detection distance of as much as 250 mm.

These tools have an average length (including M12 right-angle connector) of 55 mm. they provide best-in-class detection distances, while rugged stainless-steel (V2A/AISI 303) housings and shatter-resistant PMMA optics, collectively rated to IP67, offer great safety against liquid ingress and mechanical shock.
