Special Purpose Sensors

Special Purpose Sensors are designed for unusual situations where nothing else will do the job.  These sensors are often of limited usefulness for applications other than the original design application. The S19 Sight Glass Skanner, for example, has only one known application - detecting the liquid column in a transparent sight glass tube.

The S28 Wafer-Scan was originally designed to detect silicon wafers for the semiconductor industry but can be used for many short range applications. The S35 can be used to detect a predetermined color against a contrasting background. The S17, with its detachable fiber optic cables, can be used when scanning must be done in a hostile environment.  The heat and chemical-resistant cables can be exposed to harsh conditions while the skanner body remains at a safe distance.
