Online Technical Support Resource
I don't know if you've noticed a little addition to the Gibson website lately, but we've added a "GetSatisfaction" link th at connects you to a community based support resource.
To start off with, all of the folks here at Gibson are signed up and monitoring the forum. You can either create a new GetSatisfaction login, or if you already have a Facebook, Google, Twitter, Windows Live or OpenID login then you can login with those credentials.
We've been so blessed over the years to build relationships with many very talented and savvy customers, and we thought if we gave those "Friends of Gibson" a forum to ask and/or answer technical questions related to our factory automation products that the result would be better support, and over time we'd develop an always-on resource of search-able questions and answers. It also gives us the ability to get instant feedback on how we're doing for you. If you haven't ever heard of "GetSatisfaction" we invite you to take a look.
I'd love to hear what you think about it, and we'd really love to see you using the resource to help increase your profitability, competitiveness, and productivity.

Pepperl & Fuchs Subminiature photoelectric sensors are ideal for packaging or converting applications
The ML4.2 Series subminiature photoelectric sensors help maximize machine productivity by delivering faster response times, multibeam redundant detection, independent outputs, and zero deadband sensing.
ML4.2 dual-sensor redundant detection models feature dual light beams from two emitter LEDs that reflect light to two receivers. These beams act as a logic "OR" so that either beam can switch the output. Having a redundant light beam enables transparent or glossy objects that are foil or plastic-wrapped to be much more reliably sensed when compared with single-beam sensing.

Technical Paper: "Sensing by Ranging"
The future of photoelectric sensors lies in direct
distance measurement.
Direct measurement is the only way to reliably measure the distance to an object where the reflection characteristics are constantly changing. While this realization is nothing new, it has rarely been implemented in the industrial optical sensor sector due to high costs.
Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) technology has succeeded in providing a time-of-flight measuring principle that is both suitable for compact sensors and acceptable in price.
