Simple change from standard housing to miniature housing.

Out with the old, in with the new: The contrast sensors from the F 25 series are assembly and connection compatible with the conventional standard housing (image
on the left). The fastening bores are aligned in the same distance from each other. The integrated cable with a M12-connector fits to the corresponding mating connec-
tor.

The new FT 25-W/-RGB series is significantly smaller than the it allows for high positioning accuracy and secure detection even

best performance data. With the help of the MZ F 25 bracket,
a simple change from the large standard housing to the More precise
compact miniature housing is possible – without additional Due to the bright light spot with an oblong, sharp contour

small printed marks and vibrating and shimming objects (e.g.
Smaller paper webs or foils) are reliably recognized.
The FT 25-RGB is a fast contrast sensor with multi-colour-
analysis in a compact miniature housing (34 x 20 x 12 mm3). More communicative
Depending on the object colour, the sensor selects the ideal After the teach-in, the „speaking light spot“ provides the user

recognizes even the smallest of differences in contrast.
• Light spot blinks green: Good contrast
• Light spot blinks blue: Weak contrast
Faster
• Light spot blinks red: Inadequate contrast
With a minimal response of 20 μs, a minimal jitter of 10 μs and
a switching frequency of up to 25 kHz,

Compatible light exit and focal positions:

The sensor mounted on the MZ F 25 bracket, compared to the conventional standard housing, has an identical focal position at 9 mm and 18 mm.
Dependent upon on which of the four possible positions the sensor is mounted, this applies both for horizontal and vertical light emission.
