The "500/520 series" is an embedded long-range proximity sensor that contributes to improved reliability and reduced mechanical damage due to its ample detection distance. Even if the workpiece vibrates, the ample distance helps prevent malfunction. In demanding detection applications using standard products, it offers ease of replacement and ample detection distance. This product is suitable for detecting objects that are difficult to detect with standard products. 【Features】 ■ Capable of long-distance detection ■ Can reduce size by one size due to long distance ■ Ample distance helps prevent malfunction even if the workpiece vibrates ■ A lineup of all sizes, mounting types, output logic, and connection methods ■ Choice of connection method (cable type, connector type) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "700/700L Series" is an all-stainless steel housing long-distance proximity sensor that can reduce the size of conventional proximity sensors by one size. Eighty percent of failures are caused by mechanical damage. This product can be installed away from the workpiece, making it less likely to be hit even if the workpiece is moving erratically. This helps reduce equipment downtime and contributes to cost reduction. 【Features】 ■ Prevents malfunction due to sufficient distance even when the workpiece is vibrating ■ Strong against impact with a stainless steel integrated structure, including the detection surface ■ Detection surface thickness ranges from 0.25mm to 1mm for M8 to M30 ■ Not affected by aluminum cutting chips ■ Capable of detecting non-ferrous metals other than aluminum at long distances *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "C23P" is a photoelectric sensor suitable for detecting transparent objects. Its patented technology uses ultraviolet light, which allows for a very high absorption rate of polarized ultraviolet light even with transparent materials such as plastic and glass, making it very easy to set the threshold for sensor output switching. Additionally, the shape and thickness of the target do not affect detection, enabling stable detection even in the center of a PET bottle. 【Features】 ■ Easy sensor setup for thin transparent objects ■ No fine-tuning of thresholds required ■ Adjustment via teach or IO-Link ■ IP67, Ecolab certified ■ Sensor performance unaffected by dirt, water droplets, or aging *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Snow Con(R) SHK Series" is an energy-saving snow sensor that counts snowflakes using infrared technology and operates according to the amount of snowfall. The sensor unit employs an infrared detection method, allowing it to gauge the intensity of snowfall and reliably capture snow even in strong wind and snow conditions. Additionally, we offer a variety of models tailored to different applications, including the "SHK-500 Series," which can operate with snowfall above a set value, as well as the intermittent operation "SHK-750 Series" and "SHK-800 Series." 【Features】 ■ Detects snowfall in the space, making it easy to detect snow during windy and snowy conditions ■ Long detection range allows operation according to snowfall intensity ■ Easy to operate, making setting changes simple ■ ECO operation function enables more energy-efficient operation *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Snow Con(R) SNK, SN Series" is a snow removal sensor compatible with melting snow power (formerly known as Second Melting Snow Power). The sensor unit is excellent in rust prevention and weather resistance, and does not require regular maintenance. The snow detection method uses a snow plate system with over 30 years of proven performance. While Snow Con is designed to detect only snowfall, we also offer "Frost Detection Integrated Snow Con" and "Rain Detection Integrated Snow Con" as needed. 【Features】 ■ Each setting can be confirmed via digital display, and changes to settings are easy. ■ In addition to the normal operating mode, an "eco operating mode" has been added. ■ Manual output is time-limited, automatically returning to automatic operation after a maximum of 8 hours. ■ The snow detection method uses a snow plate system with over 30 years of proven performance (snow temperature + precipitation). ■ The sensor unit is excellent in rust prevention and weather resistance, and does not require regular maintenance. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "FS Series" is a simple microcontroller-based snow detection sensor that can maintain output for a certain period (snow residue processing time) even after the snow has stopped falling. It includes the standard models "FS-55, FS-56 Series" and the models with intermittent operation features "FS-57, FS-58 Series." By directly detecting snowflakes, it is less affected by wind, and by combining the signals from the snow temperature sensor, it eliminates malfunctions caused by low-temperature rain. 【Features】 ■ Direct detection of snowflakes minimizes the influence of wind ■ Combining signals from the snow temperature sensor eliminates malfunctions due to low-temperature rain ■ With two output contacts, it can be used for pumps as well as solenoid valves ■ Stops output for a certain period (snow residue processing time) even after the snow has stopped falling ■ The "Test" switch allows for operation confirmation of the main control unit *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
