Features

Reliable transparent object detection: Light passes through the transparent object twice using the reflector, allowing small changes in light intensity to be detected for glass bottles and plastic films.
Polarized retroreflective sensing: The polarized retroreflective method also provides stable detection of objects with specular surfaces.
100 to 1,500 mm detecting range: The listed detecting range is 100 to 1,500 mm for flexible placement of the sensing head and reflector.
Simplified single-side fiber routing: The opposite side uses a reflector, so fiber routing is required only on the sensing side compared with a through-beam configuration.
IP66 protection: The unit has an IP66 protection rating and includes a dedicated reflector, mounting bracket, and FA500 fiber cutter.
