Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MDFT30 Photoelectric Transmitter?

The Carlo Gavazzi MDFT30 is a compact through-beam photoelectric transmitter designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MDF photoelectric sensor family, it operates as the transmitting element of a separate transmitter-and-receiver sensing system and is designed for applications requiring detection distances up to 30 m.

Featuring a compact cylindrical body with a diameter of approximately 13.5 mm, the MDFT30 is well suited to installations where available mounting space is limited. Its ±8° optical angle provides practical alignment tolerance when positioning the transmitter opposite the corresponding MDF receiver.

The cable-connected construction provides a straightforward solution for permanent industrial installations, while the separate through-beam architecture offers reliable object and presence detection across machinery, conveyors and material handling systems. When correctly installed with its corresponding receiver and compatible control equipment, the MDFT30 forms part of a dependable long-range photoelectric detection system.

Reliable Long-Range Through-Beam Detection

Through-beam photoelectric systems use a transmitter and receiver mounted opposite one another. The MDFT30 provides the transmitting side of the optical system, directing a beam towards the corresponding receiver. When an object passes between the two sensor heads and interrupts the beam, the receiving and control equipment can detect the change and initiate the required machine-control response.

This separate transmitter-and-receiver arrangement is particularly useful where reliable detection over longer distances is required. With a system range of up to 30 m, compact 13.5 mm construction and a ±8° optical angle, the Carlo Gavazzi MDFT30 provides a practical sensing solution for industrial automation equipment where both range and installation flexibility are important.
