Cross-Beam Area Sensors BWC Series

Product Overview

The BWC Series cross-beam area sensors employ a 3-point cross-beam detection method to significantly reduce non-detection areas, ensuring accurate and reliable detection in various environments. Available in 14 different configurations, the BWC Series offers flexibility based on the number of optical axes, optical pitch, and detection area size. These sensors are designed to perform reliably even in environments with high ambient lighting, up to 100,000 lux. The built-in self-diagnosis output function helps minimize detection errors caused by dust or debris, enhancing the overall reliability of the system. Additionally, the BWC Series comes equipped with user-friendly features such as an installation mode function, mutual interference prevention, and various self-diagnosis capabilities.

Key Features

• Minimized Non-Detection Areas: The BWC Series uses a 3-point cross-beam detection method, reducing the chances of non-detection and improving sensing accuracy.
• Long Sensing Distance: Capable of detecting objects up to 7 meters away, ensuring performance across various applications.
• Versatile Configurations: The series offers 14 configurations, with options for the number of optical axes (from 4 to 20), optical pitch (40mm or 80mm), and detection area size (ranging from 120mm to 1,040mm).
• High Ambient Light Resistance: Reliable operation in environments with ambient lighting up to 100,000 lux.
• Self-Diagnosis Output: Monitors sensing screen pollution and optical axis blockage, allowing external devices to check for errors and ensuring ongoing system reliability.
• Ease of Installation: The installation mode function simplifies setup, making it user-friendly.
• Mutual Interference Prevention: Prevents operational interference between multiple sensors installed in proximity.
• Bright LED Indicators: Easily monitor the operational status with bright LED indicators on both the emitter and receiver.
• Compliance with Standards: The BWC80-14HD model meets the Korean Railway Standards.
• Durable Construction: IP67 protection rating (IEC standard) ensures the sensor's resilience in harsh environmental conditions.
