1-metre reflex technology: hassle-free presence control
With a detection distance of up to 1000 mm, this sensor allows for presence and passage control at useful distances without resorting to bulky solutions. The reflective principle enables tidy installation and effective management of the detection point in many typical applications: product counting, position verification, passage detection on conveyors, end-of-line control, and light automation.
PNP output and dual Light-ON / Dark-ON logic
The PNP output is the most common standard in modern DC systems and is compatible with most PLC inputs. Additionally, the ability to choose between Dark-ON or Light-ON mode allows for quick adaptation of the sensor to the desired control logic, reducing configuration times and simplifying replacements or retrofits on existing systems.
Performance for fast lines: 0.5 ms response time
The 0.5 ms response time allows operation even on high-speed lines, where the signal must be clean and ready for accurate counting or quick commands (stop, diversion, actuator activation). This feature is particularly useful in automatic logistics, packaging machines, and handling systems where the production pace cannot slow down.
Robustness for harsh environments: IP67/IP69K and ABS body
The ABS body ensures lightness and good resistance in industrial use, while the IP67/IP69K protection ratings make the sensor suitable even for challenging environments: dust, splashes, humidity, and even high-pressure washing. It is a safe choice for systems subject to frequent cleaning, such as food processing (where provided by the design), logistics areas, and production departments with the presence of water or detergents.
