PMDX announces a pair of new optical sensors for CNC spindles. We are
offering both a reflective version and a slotted interrupter version.

These sensors are useful for mill or lathe spindle speed sensing and
for lathe threading index position pickup.

+Powered from +5 volts at less than 30 milliampers

+Infrared optical sensors with modulation for reduced interference
from ambient light

+Signal is conditioned to provide reliable indication of status, no
linear region, the output is an ON or OFF logic signal only.

+Output is open an collector transistor to allow connection to +5,
+12, or +24 volt systems with a pull-up resistor

+Direct connection to PMDX-120, PMDX-121, PMDX-122, PMDX-131 and most
other breakout boards. All PMDX breakout boards have the pull up
resistor on board and have +5 power available to power the sensor so
no external components are needed.

+Three wire connection with screw clamp terminal strip

We will have a sample units on display at the Iron Fever show. Hope to
see many of you there.
