Double Vision: Miniature Prox now also Thru-Beam

Smaller, faster, less expensive …

Markham, Ontario-April 13, 2003 - Hyde Park announces the adaptation of its breakthrough SM300 line into the new SM400 MICROSONIC® Thru-Beam family, bringing generous ranges up to 8” (205mm) to small object applications where space is limited. Volumetrically, the SM400 set is 92% smaller than the original MICROSONIC line unveiled in 1975.

The SM400 offers precise rapid sensing of objects in harsh environments, regardless of color, shape, or opacity. Its output response time of 4 ms allows for the detection of objects moving at speeds of over 2000 units per minute. “Smart” sensor enhancements include solid-state sink and source outputs in normally open or closed configurations.

Some of the many applications ideal for the SM400 include:
- lead edge detection
- broken web detection
- paper/foil splice detection
- web film hole detection
- clear glass and plastic detection

With protection ratings of NEMA 4X and IP67, these CE certified sensors are resistant to dust, 100% humidity, most acids and bases and high-pressure washdowns that often times leave water buildup on the sensing face. Unlike photoelectrics, these miniature thru-beam sensors are virtually unaffected by splashing food, caustic cleaning solutions, and changing light conditions or colors. Shielding and filtering make the fully encapsulated sensors highly immune to radiated or conducted energy.

Hyde Park is a leading supplier of sensing and control solutions to help manufacturers improve their automated processes, products and profits. Hyde Park products are represented and sold in Canada by Chartwell Automation Inc., 140 Duffield Dr., Markham, Ontario. L6G 1B5.
