Midsize photoelectric sensors, available in a barrel or rectangular shape, work well for position sensing applications and process automation with a much larger sensing range and optimal detection. Several sensing modes are available with an opposed mode sensing range up to 60 m.
- Convergent- and retroreflective-mode laser sensor delivers precise position detection, inspection and counting.
- Powerful retroreflective models offer long-range retroreflective sensing.
- Fixed-field technology in the convergent-mode models ignores objects beyond the maximum sensing distance.
- Convergent models have precise 0.25 mm beam width at the convergent focus point.
- Retroreflective models have a precise, narrow beam to sense small objects at close range or larger objects to 10.6 m.
- Power supply is 10 to 30V dc, with NPN or PNP outputs
- Models are available with compact lightweight housing (PD45 models) or with environmentally sealed housing (PD49 models).
- Features compact, low-cost dc sensors in NEMA 6 (IEC IP67) die-cast housings
- Delivers outstanding immunity to electrical noise
- QM42 series: Available in opposed, polarized retroreflective, diffuse, short-range adjustable-field and plastic fiber optic sensing modes
- QMT42 series (slightly larger): Available in diffuse, fixed-field and long-range adjustable-field sensing modes
- Offers the longest range—6 m—for any diffuse sensor on the market (QMT42)
- Includes marginal gain and Power ON indicator
