Economical General-Purpose Photoelectric Sensors BM Series

Product Overview

The BM Series Photoelectric Sensors are designed for seamless integration into a variety of industrial environments, offering a compact and lightweight solution that ensures ease of installation even in the most confined spaces. Engineered for reliability, these sensors feature built-in reverse polarity protection circuits to safeguard against incorrect wiring, and select models in the diffuse reflective type include built-in sensitivity adjusters for precise detection control. The BM Series is available in three sensing types: through-beam, retroreflective, and diffuse reflective, each tailored to meet specific operational needs.

Key Features

• Compact Design: The BM Series sensors are engineered with a small footprint, making them ideal for installation in tight or narrow spaces without compromising on performance.
• Easy Installation: Designed with convenience in mind, these sensors can be securely mounted using screws through the designated mounting holes, ensuring a stable and reliable setup.
• Built-in Sensitivity Adjuster: The diffuse reflective type models come with a built-in external sensitivity adjuster, allowing for easy calibration and fine-tuning of sensor sensitivity to match the application's needs.
• Protection Circuits: The sensors are equipped with reverse power protection and output short overcurrent protection circuits, ensuring safe operation and longevity even in demanding industrial environments.
• Multiple Sensing Types: The BM Series offers three different sensing configurations:
  • Through-beam Type: Capable of detecting objects at a distance of up to 3 meters.
  • Retroreflective Type: Effective for sensing targets up to 1 meter away.
  • Diffuse Reflective Type: Suitable for sensing distances of up to 200 mm, with the added benefit of sensitivity adjustment.
