V 8 Laser No frills performance: long ranges, high speeds with precision VTE 8 L photoelectric proximity switches: energetic type, scr. mm (9 % remission). Additional standard features: very short response time f = 8/s (,/s); manual sensitivity adjustement (VSE 8 L), or Teach-in (VL 8 L and VTE 8 L). The Teachin provides easy handling and additional flexibility. Select: substantial operating reserve for D ATA S H E E T Photoelectric proximity switches Photoelectric reflex switches Through-beam photoelectric switches Laser class (IEC 68-) TThe photoelectric switch series V 8 L utilising the latest technology laser diodes, allies many years of sensor and applications knowhow, with customer oriented features. The strengths of our V 8 Laser: Laser class (IEC 68-), extremely long ranges, smallest, visible light spots, very short response times. The V 8 L and its ranges in overview: VSE 8 L through-beam photoelectric switches: 6 m; VL 8 L photoelectric reflex switches: m (P F), polarizing filter; standard applications, precise switching point and small hysteresis for special tasks. High flexibilty and functionality is available from a small number of variants as a result of: programmable switching type L.ON or D.ON by control line. V S =... V DC; switching output Q either in PNP or NPN; M plug connector, IP 67 and sturdy metal housing (straight or 9 degree body styles)... Yellow and green LED indicators provide support during installation, operation startup, alignment and maintenance. Whilst the V 8 L is suitable for any general purpose application, it will be of particular interest for applications in mechanical handling and logistics engineering, special mechanical engineering tasks, the packaging industry and conveyor engineering.
