What are Photoelectric Sensors?
We are a Photoelectric Sensors Retro Reflective Suppliers, Distributors & Importers in Mumbai, India. Photoelectric sensors by Carlo Gavazzi detect changes in surface conditions,
objects, or colors and categorize these things using light. They also work in
such a way that they send a light beam and measure the reflection of cuts and
how much this is blocked when another object stands in its way. These sensors
fall into one of the most commonly used categories, as they can detect an object
without even touching it. Further widely applied in automation and manufacture,
they are perfect for counting at high speeds with precision, position location
to identify parts, or notice the presence of parts.
Product Overview:
The general-purpose retro-reflective sensor PC50CNR10BA provides a compact and robust
housing, 17 x 50 x 50 mm, made from reinforced PC/ABS. This sensor sends a modulated
infrared light beam, reflected by a special target or reflector, thus detecting objects
interrupting this beam. It is suitable for applications that require dependable,
non-contact detection with a wide sensing distance range and adjustable sensitivity at
high immunity against interference.
Product Description:
Fixed Sensing Distance Models:
10 meters sensing distance:
NPN Output (Cable Version): PC50CNR10BA
NPN Output (Plug Version): PC50CNR10BAM1
