Led gets straight to the point

Delivering performance comparable
to a short-range laser scanner, SICK
has increased the intensity,
brightness and accuracy of its optosensor
technology with the new Pin-
Point LED. The Pin-Point will
broaden the range and performance
of SICK's LED-based
photoelectric
switches and
photoelectric
proximity switches
A new design of
LED, the Pin-Point is
said to vastly increase
light spot intensity
and concentrate the
energy on a much smaller area.
It features greater functional reserves, improved detection reliability and the capacity to detect longer ranges.
