Description
Product Overview
The BJ Series compact photoelectric sensors are designed to deliver high performance with excellent noise immunity, ensuring accurate and reliable presence detection in various industrial applications. Featuring an adjustable Light ON/Dark ON operation mode and sensitivity control (with the exception of the BJG-DDT model), these sensors are easy to configure and set up. Available in a range of types including long distance, BGS (background suppression) reflective, transparent glass sensing, and micro spot types, the BJ Series offers versatile options tailored to your specific needs. Choose from cable or connector types for enhanced installation flexibility.
Key Features
- Compact Size: Measuring only 10.6 mm in width, 32 mm in height, and 20 mm in length, these sensors are ideal for applications where space is limited.
- IP67 Protection Rating: Ensures the sensor is protected from dust and water, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
- Adjustable Light ON/Dark ON Mode: Easily switch between modes to suit your application's requirements, with a built-in adjuster for simple configuration.
- Sensitivity Adjustment: Built-in sensitivity adjuster allows for precise detection settings, available in most models.
- Reverse Power and Overcurrent Protection: Includes circuits to protect against reverse power input and output short overcurrent, ensuring the sensor's longevity and reliability.
- Mutual Interference Prevention: Prevents interference between sensors when multiple units are installed close to each other, ensuring accurate detection.
- High Noise Immunity: The sensor’s robust design minimizes the impact of ambient light and electrical noise, ensuring consistent performance.
- Long Sensing Distance: Capable of detecting objects up to 15 meters away for through-beam types, with other models offering shorter but equally reliable ranges.
- Mirror Surface Rejection (M.S.R.): Polarized retroreflective types include M.S.R. to avoid false detections caused by reflective surfaces.
Product Variants
Through-beam Type (BJâ–¡-TDT-C-â–¡)
- Sensing Distance: Up to 15 meters.
- Ideal For: Detecting opaque materials in various industrial settings.
- Features: High accuracy with minimal interference from ambient light.
Polarized Retroreflective Type (BJ3M-PDT-C-â–¡)
- Sensing Distance: Up to 3 meters.
- Ideal For: Applications requiring reliable detection of opaque materials.
- Features: Includes M.S.R. function for rejecting false signals from reflective surfaces.
Diffuse Reflective Type (BJâ–¡-DDT-C-â–¡)
- Sensing Distance: Ranges from 100 mm to 1 meter.
- Ideal For: Detecting both opaque and translucent materials.
- Features: Adjustable sensitivity to fine-tune detection based on the material and application.
Installation and Connectivity
The BJ Series sensors are available in two connection types to suit your setup preferences:
- Cable Type: A straightforward, durable connection method suitable for static or semi-permanent installations.
- Connector Type: M8 4-pin plug type connectors provide flexibility for installations where frequent disconnections or reconfigurations may be necessary.
For easy installation, each sensor package includes the necessary brackets, bolts, nuts, and in some cases, reflectors.
Applications
The BJ Series sensors are perfect for a variety of industrial applications where reliable, precise detection is critical. From automated manufacturing lines to material handling and packaging, these sensors offer the versatility and performance needed to enhance operational efficiency.
