Request InfoPepperl+Fuchs Inc.TWINSBURG, Ohio, Aug. 5, 2010 — Pepperl+Fuchs has introduced the OMH-RL29-06 mounting brackets designed for use with its Series 28 and Series 29 photoelectric sensors. They provide greater alignment and positioning flexibility for faster changeover than standard right-angle brackets and feature a protective shroud that covers two sides of the sensor housing for greater sensor protection. These benefits can help reduce costs and maximize productivity in automotive, materials handling and packaging applications and in applications prone to occasional target impacts and frequent changeovers.
