Test the Best Photoelectric Sensors:
E58 Series Harsh Duty
The E58 Harsh Duty line
is built for the toughest
environments. From harsh
industry chemicals and
high-pressure, high tem-
perature washdowns, to
heavy vibration and high
shock, these sensors will
keep working in the tough-
est environments.
The Eaton E58 Series Harsh
Duty family of photoelectric sen-
sors was specifi cally designed
for the most diffi cult physical,
chemical and optical environ-
ments.
The dependability of the E58 Se-
ries has been proven over years
of use in the most torturous
applications:
•
Lumber length detection for
industrial saw mill cutters
•
Food processing plants sub-
ject to daily high-pressure,
high-temperature washdown
•
Automotive plants where
exposure to lubricants, cutting
fluids, coolants and glycols are
common
•
Freeway overheight detection
for semi trucks
Regardless of the application,
the Eaton E58 Series is ready for
the challenge—and backed by an
industry-best fi ve year warranty.
Every model is an outstanding
performer—from the extreme
precision of the six-inch Perfect
Prox® model to the incredible
800-foot sensing thru-beam pair.
Unparalleled Power
Excess gain is a measurement of
how much sensing power a pho-
toelectric sensor has available
beyond the power required to
detect an object. An excess gain
of 1.00 at a given range means
there is just enough sensing
power to detect an object under
perfect conditions.
In the real world, there is con-
tamination—dust, dirt, oils, and
debris—that can settle in the
air or the lens and reduce light
transmission. As the level of
contamination gets worse, more
excess gain is needed to push
through contamination in the
environment.
All models in the E58 Series
share one feature: incredible
excess gain. This allows the thru-
beam models to work at ranges
of up to 800 feet apart, or—in
shorter applications—to see
through over 30 pages of white
paper stacked together. Versus
the competition, the E58 Series
will report less “false trips” and
“lock-ons” common in dusty or
wet environments. The bottom
line: higher long-term reliability in
the worst applications.
The E58 Series (left) uses proven
mechanical seals with Viton® o-rings
in place of less reliable adhesives and
potting found in competing products.
