Description
Product Overview
The BWPK Series area sensors are designed with a slim and compact body, measuring only 10 mm in thickness, constructed from durable PC/ABS (Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic. These sensors are ideal for applications requiring precise detection and reliable performance in tight spaces. The built-in picking indicators on both the emitter and receiver enhance workflow efficiency by providing clear visual cues for job status. Installation is simplified by the elimination of synchronization wiring, allowing for quicker setup and reduced complexity. The sensors also feature DIP switches that enable users to easily toggle between different functions and modes, including long/short sensing distance, mutual interference prevention, Light ON/Dark ON operation, and picking indicator ON/FLASHING settings.
Key Features
Compact and Durable Design
- Flat Profile: The BWPK Series features a slim 10 mm body, making it suitable for installations where space is limited.
- Robust Construction: The sensors are made from high-strength PC/ABS plastic, providing excellent durability and longevity in various industrial environments.
Flexible Sensing Options
- Adjustable Sensing Distance: Users can easily switch between long mode (0.1 to 3.0 m) and short mode (0.05 to 1.0 m) to suit their specific application needs.
- Opaque Material Detection: The sensors are optimized for detecting opaque materials with a minimum sensing target size of Ø 35 mm.
Enhanced Interference Prevention
- Mutual Interference Prevention: The sensors include a mutual interference prevention function with frequency switching to ensure reliable operation in environments with multiple sensors.
User-Friendly Indicators and Modes
- Picking Indicators: The emitter and receiver are equipped with picking indicators that clearly display operational status, enhancing productivity by providing immediate feedback.
- Operation Modes: Easily switch between Light ON and Dark ON modes to match your operational requirements.
Reliable Performance and Protection
- IP40 Protection: The sensors feature an IP40 protection rating, ensuring they are safeguarded against solid objects larger than 1 mm.
- Robust Environmental Resistance: Designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures and humidity conditions, these sensors are built to withstand challenging environments.
Simplified Installation
- No Synchronization Wiring Required: Installation is straightforward, as synchronization wiring is unnecessary, reducing setup time and complexity.
- Flexible Mounting Options: Various brackets are available for purchase separately, including flat, L-shaped, and protection brackets, allowing for versatile mounting configurations.
Installation and Accessories
The BWPK Series sensors are designed for easy installation. The lack of synchronization wiring not only simplifies the setup but also reduces potential wiring errors. For secure and flexible mounting, optional brackets are available:
- Flat Bracket (BK-BWPK-ST): Ideal for flat surface mounting.
- L-Shaped Bracket (BK-BWPK-L): Perfect for installations requiring a 90-degree orientation.
- Protection Bracket (BK-BWPK-P): Provides additional protection for the sensors in harsh environments.
These accessories are sold separately, providing users with the flexibility to choose the best mounting solution for their specific application.
