Carlo Gavazzi PD30 Photo Electric Switch

Anderson-Bolds provides Carlo Gavazzi PD30 Photo Electric Devices

CARLO GAVAZZI is proud to announce the expansion of the popular range of PD30 miniature photoelectric sensors. The PD30 Basic Series features improved accuracy and a simplified set-up via potentiometer. It also adds a background suppression version for diffuse sensing applications.

The background suppression version uses a brand new Active Pixel Sensor 64x1 CMOS array which improves the accuracy of the detection of different colors by measuring the angle of the returned light, rather than the strength. This allow for a tighter gap between the sensing target and the background. These sensors are designed for applications where high precision detection in a compact area is required, thus allowing users to obtain an excellent size to performance ratio.

The PD30 Basic Series fits seamlessly into most material handling, packaging, pharmaceutical and parts detection applications, providing a high quality, economical solution. The PD30 Basic Series shares many of the same great features of the PD30 ‘Teach-in” Series, including:

Industry standard 10x20x30 mm housing
Excellent sensing distance in a small housing, with ranges up to 15 meters
PNP/NPN & normally open/normally closed outputs
Robust IP67 rating
Dual LEDs for power and signal indication
Simplified set-up via potentiometer





The PD Basic Series come in a variety of different sensing principles and maximum sensing ranges:
Diffuse1 meter
Diffuse Background Suppression200 mm
Diffuse Infrared200 mm
Retroreflective6 meters
Polarized Retroreflective6 meters
Through Beam15 meters

Copper Sheath Immersion Heaters

Screw Plug Immersion Heaters with Copper Sheath for Heating Water.

Anderson-Bolds has been providing electric heating elements for heating water since 1934.  The first choice in heaters for industrial accounts to heat water tanks are screw plug electric immersion heaters.  The Screw Plug is easily installed via an NPT fitting in the tank wall.  The heater should be located near the bottom of the tank as when the heater is on it creates a convection within the tank.  The heater heats by conduction, or contact with the media.  But as water is heated or warmed by the immersed elements the warm water rises to the top of the tank.  The water below the heating element in a tank will not be heated.  Copper is the preferred sheath material for heating water.  Copper has the best heat transfer capability but also the lowest max temperature of about 750 degrees F.  Level control and temperature control can be critical to keeping the elements from burning out.  If the tank drains to expose the heaters and they are energized, they will fail quickly.  Air is a poor heat conductor and thus the elements will quickly heat up to over 350 degrees.  An element on an electric range is made of Incoloy, when the element turns red, the temperature is about 1250 degrees F.

Screw plug immersion heaters consist of tubular elements in a threaded hex plug. Some models are provided with a thermowell for the temperature control sensor and a variety of electrical enclosures for electrical connections. They screw directly through threaded openings in tank walls to heat liquids, viscous fluids, forced air, and gases by direct contact.



Chromalox MT and ARMT series Screw Plug Immersion heaters ( 2-1/2 inch plugs) with copper sheath are available in the below types or styles.

Screw Plug Immersion Heaters can have NEMA 1 housing or general purpose housing for in plant use.
Screw Plug Immersion Heaters can have Moisture resistant housing for wet locations, indoors or outdoors.
Screw Plug Immersion Heaters can have Explosion Resistant housing for hazardous rated areas.

Screw Plug Immersion heaters can also have Thermostats built into the enclosure.  the Thermostats can handle up to 22 AMPS.  If three phase or above 22 amps, a three pole contactor will be required to switch on the heating elements.

Screw Plug heaters with integral thermostat, 0-100 degrees F adjustability.
Screw Plug heaters with integral thermostat, 60-250 degrees F adjustability.
