mark/color perception sensors, vision/sensor processors, miniature models, AC and/or DC
sensors, fiber optic light guides, controls and complete systems. All products are
manufactured in the U.S.A. by TRI-TRONICS COMPANY, INC.
SMARTEYE® EZ-PRO™
The SMARTEYE® EZ-PRO™ is a high performance,
automatic photoelectric sensor that can be adjusted by a single
push of a button. As a result, there is no guess work on the
part of the operator.
Self Adjusting
SMARTEYE® PRO™
The only "set it and forget it"
Photoelectric Sensor. Make a simple initial setup, push one
button and this unique sensor will maintain a perfect setting by
automatically adjusting to deteriorating conditions during
operation. The SMARTEYE® PRO™ is an automatic
event-driven, self-adjusting photoelectric sensor that
compensates for deteriorating changes during operation.
Adjustments are made by a single push of the AUTOSET button in
either the static or dynamic operating condition.
SMARTEYE®
Mark III
The SMARTEYE®
Mark III, the "first" high performance photoelectric
sensor in a miniature size that you can use anywhere for any
task...including your toughest industrial sensing applications.
The Mark III
Loaded with features and benefits, never before offered in a
miniature sensor, including extremely high gain and high speed
of response (50 microseconds). High gain enables the sensor to
resolve the most difficult low contrast sensing tasks. High
speed of response provides resolution of the exact position of
objects traveling at high speeds.
OPTI-EYE
OPTI-EYE Photoelectric Sensors are miniature in size, high in
performance, and versatile when applied to tough industrial
sensing tasks. This sensor provides a combination of high gain
and high speed of response (500 microseconds). High gain enables
the sensor to resolve low contrast sensing tasks. High speed
response provides resolution of the exact position of objects
traveling at high speed.

The SMARTEYE® EZ-PRO™, Automatic Self-Adjusting Sensor,
is a high performance, automatic photoelectric sensor that can be
adjusted by a single push of a button. As a result, there is no
guess work on the part of the operator. Now you can throw away the
screwdriver an d the manual! The
SMARTEYE®
EZ-PRO™ AUTOSET
Adjustment Procedure is as simple as it gets...
-
Establish one of
the following conditions:
Proximity - Reflect light off object.
Beam Break - Remove object from light beam path.
-
Depress either
yellow or blue button for (3) seconds.
That's all there is to it! Now, the
sensor will provide you the with automatic, hassle-free performance
that you expect from a SMARTEYE®

The TRI-TRONICS®
RETROSMART™
retro-reflective sensor is optimized to detect
translucent/transparent containers and shiny objects. You can
depend on the RETROSMART™
sensor’s ability to reliably sense any object, regardless of the
size or shape, from the leading edge to the trailing edge without
false signals. This is required when the sensing task involves
monitoring a conveyor line for jam detection. The sensor’s
narrow, red light beam assures accuracy in detecting the leading
edge of any product to trigger the response, such as filling,
capping, labeling, and coding.
Many of today’s
industrial control functions require a sensor that can provide
dependable detection of position or presence of transparent
containers. The RETROSMART™
retroreflective sensor will provide a single, non-chattering
output for each transparent container that passes by, independent
of size, shape, empty, or full.
Imagine….just
point the RETROSMART™
sensor's narrow, red light beam at the reflector and push the
AUTOSET™ button one time. Now sit back and watch the sensor
flawlessly detect any size PET bottle filled with water without
worry about burn-through or double signals. When the efficiency of
an entire production line depends on the performance of a
photoelectric sensor, the RETROSMART™
is the smart choice.

The Mark•Eye®
is a
registration mark sensor designed to see printed registration marks on
most packaging materials on a continuous web. The “one-touch” set-up
enables the sensor to be adjusted with a single push of a button. There is
no more guess work, making the operator’s adjustment procedure easy!
The Mark•Eye® utilizes a
white LED light source that is optimized to detect printed registration
marks on translucent, transparent, and many metalized films and paper.
This sensor is particularly useful on form, fill, and seal machines. Note
that most packaging materials (except foil) are translucent! Many of the
translucent packaging materials that we have tested allow light to
penetrate either the backing material or the registration mark. Because
this sensor operates in the opacity sensing mode, the color of the
registration mark simply doesn’t matter!
Note: Marks as small as 1/16” wide by 1/4” long can
be detected, dependent upon web opacity (contrast) and velocity.
- Colormark registration detection on
transparent and translucent, including many metalized films and paper
- Single, one pushbutton setup
- Remote AUTOSET™
- Selectable Pulse Stretcher
- White LED Light Source

LABEL•EYE™ is a photoelectric sensor designed specifically to
sense a large variety of adhesive labels. Since the LABEL•EYE™ is an
automatic one-touch sensor…not the conventional "teach mode" sensor,
set-up is simple. Position the gap between the labels directly under the
sensors sight-guide and push the Autoset™ button. The sensor does the rest, adjusting itself to the
perfect setting. Sensing labels has never been easier.
While designed for label detection, the
LABEL•EYE™ can be useful in a variety of applications.
Other Possible Uses:
- Opacity mode sensing
- Double sheet detection
- Envelope contents sensing
- Edge guiding
- Splice detection
- Label counting
- Unwinder, rewinder
- Die cutter
- Label hot-printing
- Rotary die cutting &
converting
- High speed dispensing
...

Mini-Eye™ is a
full line of very economical, miniature photoelectric sensors designed
to perform most sensing tasks from even the tightest locations. The
rugged Mini-Eye™
sensors are waterproof and enclosed in high-impact plastic housings for
use in hostile environments. They are also immune to indirect ambient
light and strobes.
These versatile sensors are
available in thru-beam, retroreflective and proximity models for
performing object detection such as web break detection, counting,
inspection, orientation...and much more!
Mini-Eye™ sensors
offer a selection of either infrared (IR) or red LED light sources, and
NPN or PNP output transistors. All models are available with quick
disconnect or potted cables, and they can be operated in either the
Light "ON" or Dark "ON" modes.
