The sensing modes you need.

The MINI-BEAM 

Expert

is available in many sensing modes to

solve virtually every sensing application in your plant. Sensing
modes include: regular and wide angle diffuse (proximity mode),
polarized retroreflective, retroreflective mode clear object detection,
convergent, plus infrared and visible beam fiber optics. See page 6
for available models and specifications.

MINI-BEAM

®

: Millions of sensors in use.

The MINI-BEAM is the world’s most popular miniature
photoelectric sensor. With millions of units in use worldwide, 
it has become the benchmark for small photoelectrics. Fact is,
there are more MINI-BEAMs solving more sensing applications
in more plants worldwide than any other sensor. Because there 
is a MINI-BEAM to solve every application in your plant, it is
also your best single-sensor choice to standardize all of your
sensing applications.

Advanced “TEACHABLE” microprocessor.

The new MINI-BEAM

®

Expert

*

features a highly advanced,

“teachable” microprocessor. With the sensor in TEACH mode,

it can “learn” the ON and OFF sensing conditions required,

compute the most accurate setting for recognizing the difference
in received light signals, and self-program that setting.

*Patent pending

Simple, one-button operation.

The MINI-BEAM 

Expert

“learns” each job with the push 

of a single button. Simply push it once with the sensor 
pointed at the ON condition, and once with it pointed at 
the OFF condition. Not only does it provide extremely 
accurate sensitivity settings, this single pushbutton is 
extremely easy to use, and it eliminates the potential for
adjustment tampering on your production line.
