The sensors of the MDS-40-MK series are a new generation of cost-effective and flexible magneto-inductive sensors for serial or industrial applications. In addition to the pre-configured preferred types, a combination of further options (power supply, output, plug,...) is possible. The appropriate sensor can be combined from numerous configuration options.
Characteristics
Measuring range to approx. 40mm (depending from magnet used)
Output types: voltage, current, voltage (ratiometric), frequency (time measurement)
Protection class: IP20 or IP67
Configuration possibilities from 200 pc.: output / power supply / protection class / connection type
Magneto-inductive displacement sensors with standard design
The magneto-inductive MDS-35/-45 sensors are specially designed for industrial environments. The sensors are available in M12, M18 and M30 stainless steel housings or with a flat plastic housing. The pressure-resistant, stainless steel housing is ideally suited to harsh, industrial environments (dirt, oil, chemicals) and the food industry.
Magneto-inductive M12 sensors are industrial-grade models for restricted installation spaces. Available with either a connector or a cable, they are ideally suitable for harsh and demanding environments due to a pressure resistant housing made from stainless steel. For temperatures up to 120 °C, the high temperature MDS-35-M12-HT model is available which is also equipped with either a cable or a connector.
The MDS-45-M18 sensor is the industry-standard version of magneto-inductive sensors. The M18 design enables standardized installation and the robust stainless steel housing allows for the sensor to be installed in demanding industrial environments (dirt, oil, chemicals) or also in the food industry.
The MDS-45-M30 is the industry-standard version of magneto-inductive sensors. The M30 design enables standardized installation while the robust stainless steel housing is ideally suited to applications in harsh industrial environments (dirt, oil, chemicals) or in the food industry.
The new thicknessSENSOR opens up diverse application possibilities in terms of non-contact thickness measurement. The sensor operates with high precision and enables fast commissioning as well as ease of use.
The thicknessSENSOR is a fully assembled system for non-contact thickness measurements of strip and plate material. The system consists of two displacement sensors that are fixed opposite to each other on a frame and measure against the target from both sides. The material thickness is detected according to the difference principle and calculated using an integrated evaluation unit. The measurement values are output as analog values via voltage and current or in digital form via Ethernet. Due to its extremely compact size, the sensor can also easily be integrated into restricted installation space.
The intuitive web interface provides the new thicknessSENSOR with unique ease of use and enables the user to load individual presets for the respective measurement task. Up to eight user-specific sensor settings can be stored and exported in the setup management feature. The measurement task can be optimized using signal peak selection and freely adjustable signal averaging.

Laser class 1: radiated power max. 390µW
Class 1 laser sensors for fast and precise measurements
optoNCDT 1420 CL1 laser sensors are designed for increased laser class 1 security regulations. With this laser class, the radiated power is at max. 390µW, which is significantly lower than laser class 2. The optoNCDT1420 CL1 offers similar to the optoNCDT 1420 series a unique combination of speed, size, performance and application versatility for displacement, distance and position measurements. The compact triangulation sensor achieves a high measurement accuracy and measuring rates of up to 4kHz.
Use in automotive production
Especially in automotive production where people work in the vicinity to laser sensors, optoNCDT 1420 CL1 models are applied. The CL1 series satisfies the requirements placed by the automotive industry with respect to performance and laser class. Therefore, protective measures that correlate with conventional laser class 2 sensors are no longer necessary.
Measuring sensitive materials
Conventional laser class 2 sensors can cause undesirable reactions in medical and pharmaceutical engineering when measuring sensitive materials. Due to their reduced laser power, optoNCDT 1420 CL1 sensors measure sensitive materials such as substrates without causing any chemical or thermal reaction of the surface.
