Automated, non-contact operation has become the norm for hand sanitization, and dispenser manufacturers need robust, affordable sensors to detect the presence of an individual’s hands. Dispensing soap and water traditionally requires two different sensors for accurate delivery, but modern systems use identical sensors for either application, reducing spares inventory and cutting cost. Designers require compact, user-programmable dual-output sensors capable of withstanding mechanical shock and fluid ingress, while offering an attractive price/performance profile.
Customer benefits
- Diffuse-mode sensors with background suppression and a sensing distance of up to 250 mm are ideal for hand detection
