Side Sensing Type Photoelectric Sensors BMS Series

Product Overview

The BMS Series side sensing type photoelectric sensors are designed for precision and reliability, featuring a high-speed response time of under 1 millisecond. These sensors offer versatility with selectable Light ON and Dark ON modes via a control wire. Additionally, a built-in sensitivity adjuster ensures easy configuration to meet various application needs. The BMS Series is available in three types: through-beam, retroreflective, and diffuse reflective, catering to a wide range of sensing applications.

Key Features

Built-in Protection Circuits

The BMS Series comes equipped with reverse polarity protection and output short overcurrent protection circuits. These features enhance the durability and safety of the sensors, ensuring long-term reliable operation even in demanding environments.

High-Speed Response

With a maximum response time of just 1 millisecond, the BMS Series sensors are ideal for applications requiring rapid detection and response. This ensures that even the fastest processes are accurately monitored.

Selectable Operation Modes

Users can easily switch between Light ON and Dark ON modes using a control wire, providing flexibility for various application requirements. This adaptability makes the BMS Series suitable for diverse industrial uses.

Sensitivity Adjustment

The sensors include a built-in sensitivity adjuster, available for retroreflective and diffuse reflective types. This allows users to fine-tune the sensor’s performance according to the specific characteristics of the target object, ensuring optimal detection accuracy.

Multiple Sensing Types

The BMS Series offers three different sensing types:

• Through-beam: Ideal for long-distance sensing up to 5 meters.
• Retroreflective: Perfect for detecting objects within a range of 0.1 to 2 meters.
• Diffuse Reflective: Best suited for detecting objects up to 300 mm, including translucent materials.

Environmental and Durability Features

Robust Construction

The sensors are built to withstand tough environmental conditions, featuring a rugged ABS case and high-quality sensing components made from PC or Acrylic, depending on the model. The brackets and bolts are crafted from durable metals to ensure secure installation and longevity.

Vibration and Shock Resistance

The BMS Series sensors are engineered to endure harsh industrial environments, capable of withstanding vibrations with a double amplitude of 1.5 mm and shocks up to 500 m/s² (approximately 50 G).

Ambient Conditions

These sensors are operational in a wide temperature range from -10 to 60 ℃ and can be stored between -25 to 70 ℃. They are also resistant to ambient light interference, with a maximum tolerance of 11,000 lx for sunlight and 3,000 lx for incandescent lamps.
