Photoelectric Sensors Cope With Washdown

The Allen-Bradley 42CS family of sensors are specifically engineered to address high-pressure and harsh chemical cleaning conditions.


These IP69K-rated sensors offer a wide range of sensing modes in a smooth or threaded 316L stainless steel housing with hardened PMMA lenses. Smooth-barrel models are designed to minimize the accumulation of undesired particles on the sensor and allow for an easy cleanup.

Features include:
• Innovative ferromagnetic teach for easy sensor programming
• Smooth-barrel design – free of threads and seams – minimizes the accumulation of undesired particles and allows for fast and thorough cleanup; ideal for the food and beverage industry.
• Extended temperature operating range
• Robust 18mm stainless steel 316L enclosure with laser-etched markings
• Background suppression models for improved detection of shiny objects
• Two teach modes: standard and precision
• Teach lockout feature prevents unauthorized users from changing the settings
