Cylindrical M18 photoelectric sensors

• Cost-efficiency from system design to longlife operation
  • Standard M18 housing
• Process safety even under demanding ambient conditions
  • IP 69K
  • Robust plastic, brass or stainless steel housing
• Easy and safe commissioning
  • Laser class 1 and LED light eliminate the need for protective measures 
  • Intuitive, wear-free qTeach technique
  • Clearly visible LED indicators
• Versatile application fields
  • Six sensor principles
  • Long ranges up to 55 meters (one-way light barriers)
  • Class 1 laser sensors for detecting very small parts
  • Short response times of < 0.34 ms
  • Quick focusing for the reliable detection of semi-transparent and shiny objects ( diffuse sensors with background suppression)
  • SmartReflect - Light barrier without a reflector in an M18 housing

Photoelectric M18 sensors are used for reliable non-contact detecion of objects of any material.  Compared to other sensors, photoelectric sensors feature a considerably exended sensing range.

• Object and presence detection in industrial automation
• Object detection on conveyor belts
• Monitoring of goods flows in processs
• Color-related object detection
