Carlo Gavazzi Sensors
Photoelectric Sensors
Carlo Gavazzi offers a large range of photoelectric sensors
which are designed for packaging machinery, automatic door systems, factory
automation, and car washes. The VP series is uses for all optical types and
ideal for level applications. These sensors are available in various housing
materials which allow their use in industrial cleaning.
Magnetic Sensors
Carlo Gavazzi offers a large comprehensive range of magnets
sensors for the use of proximity detection applications. When the sensor
approaches the magnet, the output from the sensor will change state. The
magnetic sensors will most likely have a longer sensing distance than a typical
proximity sensor. The output will be mechanical contact. There are several
styles of magnets and sensors for the use of safety applications. Magnetic
sensors are most often used on elevators and lifts, gate control, level
detection, and access control.
Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors are designed for both distance
measurement and object detection in harsh environments. Ranges consist of M18
and M30 housings. Analogue output types are available on ultrasonic sensors for
applications that require a measurement of the target object, such as detecting
the level of fluid in a tank. The analogue models are produced in 01-10 VDC or 4-20
mA outputs.
Environmental Sensors
Carlo Gavazzi offers a broad range of environmental sensors
monitoring of CO2, relative humidity (RH), temperature and air velocity.
Environmental sensors are designed to detect levels and provide an output to a
controller or BAS. They are usually used in areas such as office buildings,
schools, green houses, museums and incubators. Anemometers and wind direction
sensors have a pulse output for input into a PLC or controller. Anemometers and
wind sensors are designed to monitor wind speed in wind farms, bridges,
fountains and solar installations. These sensors are used in most environments
as they are sealed against dust and feature a built-in heater to prevent
freezing of rotational parts.
Inductive Sensors & Inductive Proximity Switches

Carlo Gavazzi offers an extensive range of inductive and
proximity switches. Inductive sensors are designed to detect metal parts and
objects. These sensors are use in packaging plastics machines, assembly lines
and conveyor systems. Inductive sensors and proximity switches feature both
digital (SCR, transistor) and analogue outputs. Inductive sensors are in a
cylindrical housing with both standard and extended sensing distance and in
flat-pack housing.
