The KR SensorHolder Rosette Sensor Mount 18 holds any M18-barrel industrial sensor - proximity, photoelectric, or M18 barcode readers - on an indexed rosette connection, so the sensor's aim is a locked tooth position, not a friction setting that drifts. The sensor's threaded barrel passes through the mount's 18.5 mm bore and clamps with its own barrel nuts; no special clips, no adapter.

M18 is one of the standard industrial cylindrical-sensor sizes, which makes this one stainless bracket cover an enormous range of parts: inductive proximity switches, diffuse and through-beam photoelectric sensors, and M18-format code readers all mount the same way. The bracket's rosette foot bolts onto any rosette output in the SightLink system - the extrusion base node, either face of the 90° connector, or either end of a rosette extension arm.

Because the teeth index, a swapped or serviced sensor comes back at the same aim - a trigger sensor keeps firing at the same point on the part, without a re-teach.

Sensors are the most-swapped, most-bumped devices on an inspection frame - and the ones usually mounted on a bent piece of scrap. SensorHolder gives them the same indexed rosette mounting the cameras and lights get, so detection points are set once and survive service.

SensorHolder is the sensor payload line of the SightLink rosette mount system, sibling to VisionHolder (cameras and lights). All of them share the same rosette foot, so a sensor can take over any position on the chain, and the trigger sensor that fires your camera can live on the same frame, the same arm, even the same bolted extension as the camera it triggers - aligned parts of one indexed setup instead of separate improvisations.

This mount is the last link before the sensor - its rosette foot lands on any rosette output in the SightLink chain, and the sensor's own barrel nuts do the clamping:

The 18.5 mm bore clears the M18 barrel; thread the sensor through, set its stand-off distance, and tighten the barrel nuts against the bracket - exactly how M18 sensors are designed to mount. The bracket also carries 6.5 mm through-holes for direct hardware mounting where a rosette isn't needed.

If the sensor has an M18 threaded barrel, it fits - the mount is sized to the barrel standard, not to any one sensor brand or sensing technology.

• Inductive proximity switches - the classic M18 part-in-place detectors.
• Photoelectric sensors - diffuse, reflective, and through-beam M18 formats.
• M18 barcode and code readers - barrel-format ID devices.

The mount uses an 18.5 mm bore; confirm your sensor barrel size and mounting pattern before ordering. 18 is the mount's barrel class - check the barrel size printed on your sensor's label; an M18 sensor typically has "18" in its model name.

Body and hardware are stainless steel - no coating to chip into the work area, nothing to rust in a damp corner of the shop, and a surface that wipes clean.

• Stainless bracket and stainless hardware - one material story.
• Raw stainless finish - bare metal, easy to wipe down.
• Edges lightly broken - deburred for safe handling during installs and service.

Use the Sensor Mount 18 wherever an M18 sensor's aim has to be exact - and stay exact:

• Trigger sensors that fire a vision camera at the same part position, every time.
• Part-in-place and presence detection at inspection and assembly stations.
• Photoelectric gates along a conveyor or feed on an extrusion frame.
• M18 code readers aimed at a label or mark position.
• Sensor positions that must survive cleaning, service, and sensor swaps without a re-teach.

The box holds the stainless sensor bracket and its stainless mounting screw set - the sensor clamps with its own barrel nuts.

• SensorHolder Rosette Sensor Mount 18 (stainless steel, 18.5 mm bore).
• Stainless mounting screw set.

Not included: the sensor itself (and its barrel nuts, which ship with the sensor), and the rosette chain the foot lands on - the SightLink base node, 90° connector, and extension arms are sold separately, as is the extrusion frame.

Before ordering, confirm three things: your sensor has an M18 threaded barrel with its barrel nuts, a rosette output on your frame for the foot to land on, and a sensing position the sensor can reach from the frame.

• Check the sensor's barrel class on its spec label - this mount is for M18 barrels; other sizes need a different mount.
• Make sure the sensor's barrel nuts are on hand - they do the clamping, as the sensor manufacturer intends.
• The foot needs a rosette to bolt to - a SightLink base node on the extrusion, a 90° connector, or an extension-arm end.
• Plan static, indoor mounting on the frame - and strain-relieve the sensor cable near the sensor so it can't tug the aim.
