Focus on Pumps and Valves: Proximity sensor

Focus on Pumps and Valves



Hyde Park Electronics Inc.’s new SUPERPROX Model SM300 Series extended-range ultrasonic proximity sensor combines a miniature 12mm housing and reliable detection of all materials at distances 6.35 (0.25 inches) to as far as 50.8mm (2.00 inches) from the sensor face. This is 6 times further than many 30mm diameter prox sensors, according to the manufacturer.

The ultrasonic prox sensor requires no adjustments to compensate for the different materials being detected or for changing colors, light conditions or distance to the object. The SM300 is designed to solve applications such as container detection of multi-colored beverage containers, metal material detection of conveyor clutch plates and web break detection of clear plastic material.

The Food Defense Strategy Exchange (FDSE) is a forum for food defense professionals to interact and share their knowledge and experiences. At the most recent FDSE, a poll of attendees revealed that approximately two-thirds were either re-evaluating their existing food defense plan, or implementing new food defense plans. In this podcast, Don Hsieh, Director of Commercial and Industrial Marketing at Tyco Integrated Security, discusses this topic and other findings from the exchange, and offers some best practices to proactively protect a company’s brand from food adulteration.
