13. Frequently asked questions
H18 SURESENSE PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR
Where does this product fit in the existing family offering?
SureSense compliments the W4, W9, W12 families with a full optical offering in a M18 hybrid mounting design. Additionally with an AC rating, the H18 is ideal for retrofit applications and compliments the W2000, W27, R-Sensor and G10 AC/DC offerings.
What customer needs does this new product address?
Reliability & performance - IP 69K and VISTAL housing stands up to the most challenging applications. In addition to improved reflex and through-beam performance, the signal strength light bar provides visual indication of setup – this results in shorter installation and in greater reliability for machine performance.
Are there specific applications we should be focused on for this launch?
Any machine builder or end user, especially clear material and small targets requiring laser. AC applications, including retrofit, in addition to customers who prefer not to use a Class II (100 Watt) DC power supply.
What pain points should I question for users of competitive products?
Customers who use multiple sensor families/suppliers to solve different applications: Would they benefit from reduced mounting and setup complexity? SureSense offers a complete family.
Does this product have specific diagnostic capabilities for early visibility to potential downtime?
Marginal excess gain health output can activate a remote alarm.
Signal strength light bar provides visual indication of operating environment, flashing status LED provides visual warning when signal strength is degrading or signal is marginal (flashing LED).
