Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MPFR-D18-4C Photoelectric Receiver?

The Carlo Gavazzi MPFR-D18-4C is a compact through-beam photoelectric sensor receiver designed for reliable presence and obstruction detection in industrial automation, door and gate applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MPF photoelectric sensor family, it works with a corresponding transmitter and separate MPF amplifier to form a dependable through-beam detection system.

The MPFR-D18-4C provides a rated operational sensing distance of 15 m when used with the corresponding transmitter and features a focused 4° optical angle. It detects 880 nm modulated infrared light, providing reliable optical detection while the associated MPF amplifier handles signal processing and switching functions.

This version features a D18 cylindrical plastic housing and a cable with connector for convenient connection to the associated system. With IP67 protection, the receiver is well suited to industrial environments where compact construction, reliable long-range detection and straightforward installation are required.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation

Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses a dedicated transmitter and receiver positioned opposite one another. The corresponding transmitter directs modulated infrared light towards the MPFR-D18-4C, and interruption of this optical beam is detected by the receiver and evaluated by the separate MPF amplifier.

The separate-head arrangement enables reliable detection across relatively large distances while keeping the sensing heads compact. With its 15 m operating distance, 4° optical angle and IP67 D18 housing, the MPFR-D18-4C is particularly suitable for industrial doors, gates, machine openings, conveyors and other applications requiring dependable presence or obstruction detection.

Typical Applications

• Industrial automatic doors and gates.
• Doorway presence and obstruction detection.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Machine openings and access-point monitoring.
• Warehouse and logistics automation.
• Industrial through-beam detection systems.
