When it comes to precision in industrial and commercial environments, optical sensors are a go-to solution for accurate detection and measurement. This particular optical sensor is designed with efficiency and durability in mind, ensuring reliable performance across various applications.
The sensor operates on an analogue signal with a current range of 4-20 mA and a voltage range of 0-5 V. This flexibility allows for seamless integration into existing systems, making it suitable for those seeking compatibility with diverse equipment setups. The sensing range extends to +/-35 mm, offering ample coverage for most standard applications where precise distance measurement is critical.
Operating at a rated voltage between 12-24 VDC, this sensor provides stable performance under typical industrial power conditions. The NPN analog output type ensures straightforward interfacing with control systems or PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), which are common in automation processes.
Built to withstand challenging environments, the sensor features a robust die-cast aluminium enclosure paired with an acrylic front cover. This construction not only offers mechanical strength but also protects against environmental factors that could otherwise impede functionality. With an IP67 degree of protection, the device is dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water—ideal for harsh industrial settings where exposure to moisture or particulates is likely.
Furthermore, the sensor demonstrates impressive resilience against physical stressors; it boasts shock resistance up to 500 m/s²-s and vibration resistance from 10-55 Hz. These attributes ensure that even in dynamic or high-impact environments, the sensor maintains its accuracy and reliability without degradation over time.
Humidity tolerance ranges from 35% to 85%, accommodating varied climatic conditions without compromising performance—a crucial factor when operating within facilities that experience fluctuating humidity levels.
In summary, this optical sensor combines robust construction with versatile operational capabilities. Its adaptability across different electrical configurations alongside its protective housing makes it well-suited for use in demanding industrial applications where precision and durability are paramount.
