Space-saving photoelectric sensors with industry-leading background suppression 

The MHTB15 and MHTB15V are the shortest photoelectric sensors in an M18 housing on the market. They offer best-in-class SICK OES3 background suppression technology, which enables them to ignore stray background reflections, detect multi-colored/shiny objects, and provide high immunity to ambient light, resulting in increased throughput. The MHTB15 features a plastic housing and the MHTB15V has a stainless steel housing - ideal for wash down applications.

Features: 

• Superior background supression technology
• Shortest length photoelectric sensors in an M18 housing on the market
• Secure detection of very critical objects: sensing distances up to 150 mm at 6% reflectivity, up to 300 mm at 90% reflectivity
• Potentiometer
• PinPoint-LED and axial housing
• Two variants: MHTB15 plastic housing and MHTB15V wash down

Application advantages:

• Suppression of disruptive interference in the background with small transition zones
• High-performance technology now available for applications with limited installation space
• Secure detection of small objects due to small light spot - simple mounting and adjustment
• Short blind zone
• Not susceptible to interference due to OES3 technology and diffuse LED

Benefits:

• Superior background supression using SICK's OES3 technology
  • Ability to detect multiple colored objects without readjustment
  • Ability to ignore stray reflections beyond the sensors’ set range
• Shortest M18 body on the market
  • Excellent option compared to fiber-optics
  • Customer lowers manufacturing cost
• Mounting options
  • Allow for simple and unique mounting options
  • Provides application flexibility
• IP 69K housing
  • Can be installed in high-pressure wash down areas
  • Reduces downtime caused by failing sensors in harsh environments

Application:

• Packaging: MHTB15 sensors are able to detect different colored objects and ignore shiny targets due to precise background suppression
• Food and beverage: Stainless steel compact IP 69K design of the MHTB15V reduces downtime and replacement cost. Also, OES3 technology allows users to detect multi-colored and shiny objects without losing its signal
• High-pressure wash down:  MHTB15V is IP 69K-rated with Ecolab and Johnson Diversey certifications and can handle high-pressure CIP, HPLV, and SIP cleaning methods
