General features
The MiniVLS series Optical Sensors are
primarily designed for speed related
applications, including very high speed
monitoring.

These high quality Sensors are housed in
rugged stainless steel enclosures which are
sealed to IP67 standard. They are engineered
for easy mounting in either a proximity
Sensor style housing or Plain version with
grooved body which is designed to be used
either hand held or with an optional
mounting bracket which can be tripod
mounted or fixed to a machine surface.
They can be used with almost any pulse input
monitoring equipment such as Digital
Tachometers, Counters & rotation monitoring
products, data collectors, including portable,
panel mounted and bench style instruments.
They are also compatible with most Condition
Monitoring products.

Automotive Applications
Widely used for research & development and
test applications.

Condition Monitoring Application
Ideal for phase & speed monitoring balancing
applications on rotating machinery.

Optical Ranges
Laser models measure at up 2 metres with
reflective tape or longer with retro-reflectors
or special configurations.

Key Features
• Operating frequency up to 250,000 rpm
• Long optical range up to 2 metres
• Wide angle of operation - up to 80°
