Description
Product Overview
The BS4 Series photomicro sensors are meticulously engineered to cater to diverse application needs, offering seven distinct shapes (K, L, R, T, TA, F, Y types) that provide unparalleled flexibility for various installation scenarios. With a built-in connector type, these sensors are not only compact but also designed to minimize malfunctions typically caused by foreign substances. Visibility is significantly enhanced through operation indicators that can be seen from multiple directions, ensuring clear and reliable operation at all times.
Key Features
Compact and Flexible Design
The BS4 Series sensors are crafted to occupy minimal space, making them ideal for applications where space constraints are a concern. The series includes multiple shapes (K, L, R, T, TA, F, Y types) to offer maximum flexibility during installation.
Enhanced Reliability
These sensors are equipped with a reduced sensing part and body level, effectively minimizing errors caused by the intrusion of foreign substances. This design improvement significantly enhances the reliability and durability of the sensors.
High Visibility Indicators
To ensure clear and efficient monitoring, the sensors are fitted with operation indicators that are viewable from various angles. These indicators are available in two modes: turning ON when light is received or when light is blocked, depending on the model chosen.
Dual Operation Modes
The BS4 Series offers selectable operation modes, allowing users to choose between Light ON and Dark ON settings, making the sensors adaptable to different operational requirements.
Durability and Resistance
Built to withstand harsh environments, the sensors feature a structure that resists shock and vibration, withstanding up to 15,000 m/s² of shock and vibration frequencies between 10 to 2,000 Hz.
High-Speed Response
With a high-frequency response rate of 2 kHz, these sensors are ideal for applications requiring rapid detection and response times, ensuring that even the fastest-moving objects are accurately detected.
Ordering Information
To tailor the sensor to specific needs, the BS4 Series is available with various configurations:
- Appearance Options: Choose from K, L, R, T, TA, F, and Y types depending on the required distance from the center of sensing to the mounting surface.
- Indicator Options: Available with indicators that turn ON under either light received (M) or light interrupted (R) conditions.
- Control Output: The sensors can be selected with either NPN or PNP open collector output.
Accessories
For optimal performance, compatible connector cables are available separately. These include:
- CT-03 and CT-04 Series: Standard and flexible cables in various lengths (1 m and 3 m).
These cables are essential for establishing secure connections and ensuring reliable sensor operation.
