Schneider Electric 30mm Virtu Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors


The new Virtu™ 30 ultrasonic sensor developed by Hyde Park, a division of Schneider Electric, features sensing ranges from 100 mm ( 3.94″) up to 1 m (39.4″).
 
Virtu’s barrel style body, with its M30 x 1 threaded snout and tough VALOX® housing makes it not only ideal for many OEM applications, but also an unfailing performer for an array of packaging applications, including food and beverage. Virtu™ 30 has teach-in window capability,
meaning no downtime is required for sensor recalibration when colors, materials, or shapes change.
 
With protection ratings of NEMA 4X (indoor use only) and IP67, this CE certified sensor is resistant to dust, 100% humidity, most acids and bases, and high pressure washdowns that often leave water buildup on the sensing face. This sleek sensor is virtually impervious to the effects of splashing food, caustic cleaning solutions and changing light conditions or colors. Shielding and filtering make the fully encapsulated sensor resistant to most radiated or conducted energy sources.
