Low reflective and sophisticated finish - IN STOCK

80/20 has expanded their stock of 
black anodized profiles . With over 1,000 items in the black anodize line, 80/20 makes it easy to design your custom project. Choose from architectural or organic anodizing processes; both meet Military Spec 8625.

Balluff BOH MICROmote® sensors

Precisely detect small parts from a distance

Balluff's MICROmote® optoelectronic sensors are notable for their micro-optical components. The miniaturised optosensors are operated with a separate amplifier which can be fitted externally. The highly flexible electrical cables ensure that the sensor signals are transmitted between the sensor head and the amplifier, representing a technical alternative to fibre-optics.

MICROmote® sensors are particularly suitable for installation in moving machine parts and robot grippers. Compact dimensions offer the perfect solution when there is very little installation space.
