Bulletin 44N Zone Control Sensor

The Bulletin 44N is a polarised retroreflective sensor for zero pressure accumulation conveyor systems that combines zone control logic with a photoelectric sensor. The sensor’s micro-style connection system helps reduce installation time and carries all power and signaling for up to 25 zones on one 24VDC power supply. Zone control logic eliminates the need for a PLC in a typical accumulation conveyor system.

The 44N provides positive detection of product on the conveyor and ensures reliable sensing of even shiny objects over a 4.8m (16ft) range. A selectable 200ms to 10s ON delay can be set to momentarily delay the release of product from the discharge zone.

Industry standard micro-style connections between sensors helps reduce installation time and decreases maintenance. Other features include:

  • Integral zone control logic with both singulation and slug release modes
  • Harsh duty 30mm package
  • Polarised retroreflective sensing
  • Catalogue number 44NSP-2JPBD5-Z01
