Sensor Mounting & Accessory Options Expand

Frankfort, NY, January 29, 2001- SoftNoze, a rapidly growing firm located in upstate New York, today announces the release of the worlds largest offering of sensor accessories. In addition to new models of the firm's original and patented Cushioned Sensor Mount, the 32-page color catalog offers over 20 different product categories. When combined with "SoftNoze CPR", engineers and technicians applying industrial sensors now have a single source for mounting brackets and ancillary components. The new catalog provides "off-the-shelf" solutions for inductive, capacitive, laser, photoelectric, ultrasonic, fiber-optic, transducers and thermocouples- virtually all types of industrial sensors. SoftNoze solutions make system design faster and more economical. Groundbreaking products include; Clamp-style Universal Brackets (CUB) and the Sensor Mounting System (SMS) which together allow unlimited mounting and aiming of all photoelectric sensors- regardless of brand or model.

Another patent-pending solution contained in the catalog are Proxtrol Limit Switches (PLS). Representing another industry first, PLS switches are standard limit switch bodies, but they contain no electrical contacts. Users simply attach a standard 12mm inductive proximity sensor to complete the solution. The results are PLC-friendly, solid state, limit switches using standard, low-cost proximity sensors. Two other Proxtrol product lines, the Banking Screw Adapters (BSA) and the ProxProbe Adapters (PPA), are tremendously expanding the applications in which inductive proximity sensors operate. Should designers not see what their applications require, they can submit the SoftNoze Custom Product Request (CPR) form on page 31 of the catalog. SoftNoze will professionally manage and use cutting edge technologies to develop, present and deliver the solution(s) required.
