Reliable Long-Range Retro-Reflective Detection
Retro-reflective photoelectric sensors transmit light towards a separate reflector and monitor the returned beam. When an object interrupts the optical path, the sensor changes its output state, providing reliable non-contact detection while requiring an electrical connection only at the sensor side of the installation.
The Carlo Gavazzi PC50 series combines compact construction with adjustable sensitivity and flexible transistor outputs. With its 10 m maximum sensing range, fast response and M12 connection, the PC50CNR10BAM1 is particularly suitable for conveyors, material handling equipment and automated machinery requiring dependable detection across relatively large distances.
Typical Applications
- Long-range conveyor object detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and logistics systems.
- Component presence and position monitoring.
- Automated counting and process-control systems.
- Warehouse and handling equipment.
- PLC-controlled machinery and factory automation.
