Using the transmitters, the customer would be able to wirelessly transmit power, as well as signals, to the proximity or laser sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this specific case, for part detection on the transferring arms, the customer uses laser sensors. With that in mind, MISUMI recommended the 24V transmitter and the output sensors listed below for the LR-ZB250CN laser sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Wireless Transmitter System<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/vona2\/detail\/250303673403\/?HissuCode=RS12EA-422P-PU-02&amp;srsltid=AfmBOoqGevC85RAVi5a84NsEk5yGMe4KF6pT1qm9Jj365Wy-ADXKs8-x\" title=\"\">RS12EA-422N-PU-02 (NPN) Output Sensor<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/vona2\/detail\/250303673391\/?HissuCode=RS12TA-422-PU-01&amp;srsltid=AfmBOooeBLW8Gx8bCJea0g4m16YzIFLnPsE9TlRtskca4BnOxGX8LImR\" title=\"\">RS12TA-422-PU-01 (NPN\/PNP) Transmitter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The customer showed interest in the wireless transmitter system, so after providing a quote, they decided to move forward with its implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The customer is extremely satisfied with the products.
