In 1982, CONTRINEX, a Swiss company, launched the first of what had been considered unattainable long sensing distance proximity switches (Series 500). Some factories are now producing long distance proximity switches and forming a significant market segment. But the distance the ConTRINEX sensor can reach is still unmatched. With long detection distance, miniaturization, full metal packaging and other characteristics in the industry in a distant position, is the market standard setter. Meanwhile, ConTRINEX of Switzerland has brought to market another line of ultra-high performance proximity switches: an all-metal package that enables long distance detection of both non-ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic metals (Series 700). In 1988, CONTRINEX, a Swiss company, introduced its compact, high-quality photoelectric proximity switch, setting a new standard for small photoelectric switches. [more]
