RS PRO Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor with Barrel Sensor, 4 m Detection Range
This retroreflective sensor from RS PRO is a proximity switch that uses light to detect the presence of objects. A component like this is frequently used on automated assembly lines for non-contact object sensing. It's also able to measure distances and send feedback to the main control system. The unit has a strong polyamide housing for good protection against wear and tear. Its yellow LED (light-emitting diode) allows for a quick visual inspection of the sensor's operating status. A fast response time ensures high levels of efficiency in an automated system. The unit has a long detection range of four metres for increased versatility in use. The sensor's IP67 (Ingress Protection) rating makes it completely dust-tight and water-resistant, so it's a good choice for demanding industrial applications where water may be present. It's therefore suitable for food and beverage production facilities.
