Why Choose the IMO BX80A/1P-0H Photo-Electric Area Sensor Receiver?
The IMO BX80A/1P-0H is a high-resolution through-beam photo-electric area sensor receiver designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation and machinery applications. Part of the IMO BX80 series, it provides a controlled sensing height of 70 mm and an operating distance of up to 2 m when paired with the appropriate BX80 through-beam emitter.
The receiver uses a multi-beam sensing arrangement with 12 rays at 6 mm spacing, enabling detection of objects as small as approximately 6 mm in diameter. A fast 10 ms response time, selectable NO/NC operation and PNP output make the BX80A/1P-0H suitable for presence detection, product monitoring and object counting on automated production and material handling equipment.
Operating from a 12–24 V DC supply, the BX80A/1P-0H features an industrial PBT housing, polycarbonate optical window and convenient M12 connector. Its IP67 protection rating, sensitivity adjustment and integrated electrical protection provide dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Area Detection for Industrial Automation
Unlike a conventional single-beam photo-electric sensor, an area sensor uses multiple sensing beams across a defined detection height. This enables the IMO BX80A/1P-0H to detect small objects at different positions within its 70 mm sensing area, making it particularly useful where product position or height can vary during operation.
When paired with the corresponding BX80 emitter, the receiver monitors the transmitted infrared beams and changes its PNP output when the sensing field is interrupted. Its compact construction, fast response and IP67 enclosure make it well suited to continuous object detection on production machinery, conveyors and automated handling systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyor object detection.
- Product presence and absence monitoring.
- Small-component detection.
- Automated counting and positioning systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material handling and transfer equipment.
- Production and assembly machinery.
- OEM industrial automation systems.
