Bolster the accuracy of your automated operations with this contrast sensor from Banner. It uses laser light to detect differences in contrast between colours, such as those found on printed labels or colour-coding on manufactured items. As it can hone in on relatively low levels of contrast, it's a good choice for applications where differences between parts are minute. Panel mounting means the sensor is quick and easy to install, while the built-in responsive buttons and three-digit display make it a breeze to use. Its M12 electrical connection makes it a cinch to hook up to your automated system.
