In addition to large operating ranges and increased function reserves, the 3C series scores with simple handling and fast commissioning. Thus, the devices stand for reliable object detection even in dusty environments or with high alignment tolerances. Technologies such as A²LS (Active Ambient Light Suppression), simple one-point teaching and the optional IO-Link interface characterize this series. Thanks to the diverse range of models of the compact 3C series, these sensors are used in a wide range of applications, such as mounting/handling technology, transport of very small containers, printing technology or in packaging systems.
