Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MPFT15-D18-4 Photoelectric Transmitter?
The Carlo Gavazzi MPFT15-D18-4 is a compact and reliable through-beam photoelectric sensor transmitter designed for industrial doors, gates and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi MPF photoelectric sensing system, it operates with a compatible MPFR receiver and MPF amplifier to provide dependable non-contact object and obstruction detection.
This transmitter uses modulated 880 nm infrared light and features a narrow 4° optical angle, supporting accurate alignment and reliable through-beam sensing. Its cylindrical D18 plastic housing provides a compact sensing head that can be installed remotely from the MPF amplifier, making it particularly useful where space around the detection point is limited.
When used as part of a compatible Carlo Gavazzi MPF through-beam system, the MPFT15-D18-4 provides a nominal sensing distance of up to 15 m. The transmitter has an integral cable connection and an IP67-rated housing, providing protection suitable for demanding industrial sensing locations.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric detection uses a separate transmitter and receiver positioned opposite one another. The MPFT15-D18-4 generates the modulated infrared beam, while a compatible MPFR receiver monitors the beam. When an object interrupts the optical path, the associated MPF amplifier can signal the detection event to the connected control system.
The separate-head design allows the compact transmitter and receiver to be positioned at the required detection points while the amplifier is installed separately in the control system. With its 15 m nominal sensing distance, narrow 4° optical angle and IP67 housing, the MPFT15-D18-4 is well suited to reliable obstruction and presence detection across industrial openings and machinery.
Typical Applications
- Automatic industrial doors.
- Powered gates and access-control systems.
- Obstruction and presence detection.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Entrance and passage monitoring.
- Multi-beam detection systems using compatible MPF amplifiers.
