Molex Contrinex Industry 4.0 inductive and photoelectric sensors

Molex Contrinex inductive and photoelectric sensors are robust, self-contained sensors with an integrated IO-Link in a compact housing. Part of Molex’s range of Industry 4.0 solutions, the miniature sensors feature a large sensing range and are suitable for limited-space applications and challenging environments such as packaging machines, food and beverage, filling plant, textile, machine tools and logistics.

Contrinex inductive sensors offer a long sensing distance range of 1–40 mm, which reduces the risk of sensor damage from close objects. The inductive sensors feature one-piece, factor-1 steel and aluminium housing, IP67- and IP69K-rated enclosure, and vibration and shock resistance, making them suitable for harsh and wet environments.

The Contrinex photoelectric sensors are available in cubic and cylindrical housings working on diffuse, reflex and through-beam operating principles, with sensing distances ranging from 1–50,000 mm. The IP67- and Ecolab-rated devices feature good colour and contrast recognition, a diffuse sensor with background suppression and UV light technology for transparent object detection.
