New Optoelectric sensors from Balluff – Red light family with large sensing range

The new sensors from the BOS 50K series form a complete family that includes thru-beam sensors, retroreflective sensors and diffuse sensors with or without background suppression, offering users amazing flexibility in a host of application areas.

Optoelectric sensorsApplication
The optical sensors operate with red light and combine top performance with compact dimensions. The red light of these optical sensors shines visibly further and guarantees reliable object detection, even over large distances or under difficult ambient conditions. These all-rounders are suitable for a range of sectors, from the automobile to the wood machining industry.

Simple installation
The bright, highly visible and sharply contoured light spot makes the sensors easy to align. Adjustment with the robust potentiometer is quick, easy and precise. The user-friendly plastic enclosure is also easy to install, even in harsh environments due to its robust nature. All models have a 4-pin M12 connection and a PNP switching output. The output function is available as an NO or antivalent contact. (NPN and NC contacts are available on request.)

Functional reliability
Highly visible indicator LEDs allow the user to check functions during operation. With a fault indicator and error output, diffuse sensors with background suppression offer a high degree of operational reliability.
