Slim Plastic Body Area Sensors BWP Series

Product Overview

The BWP Series area sensors are designed with a slim, compact body measuring just 13 mm in thickness, crafted from durable PC/ABS (Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic. Equipped with advanced Fresnel lenses, these sensors deliver high performance with a response time of under 7 milliseconds. The series is available in four configurations, varying by the number of optical axes and the size of the detection area. The sensors offer both Light ON and Dark ON operation modes, making them adaptable to various application needs. Additionally, they include user-friendly features such as an operation test function and mutual interference prevention, ensuring reliable and efficient operation in a wide range of environments.

Key Features

• Slim, Flat Body: The sensor's compact design with a thickness of 13 mm ensures easy installation in tight spaces.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-strength PC/ABS plastic, the sensors are built to last even in challenging industrial environments.
• High-Speed Response: With a response time of under 7 milliseconds, the sensors provide quick and accurate detection.
• Multiple Configurations: Choose from four different models based on the number of optical axes (8 to 20) and detection area size (140 mm to 380 mm).
• Advanced Functions: Includes an emitter stop function, mutual interference prevention, Job indicator ON/FLASHING switch, and Light ON/Dark ON operation mode switch.
• Bright LED Indicators: Both the emitter and receiver feature bright LED indicators for easy status monitoring.
• IP40 Protection: The sensors are rated IP40, providing solid protection against environmental factors, in compliance with IEC standards.

Ordering Information

When selecting a model from the BWP Series, consider the number of optical axes and the control output type. The number of optical axes can be chosen based on the required sensing height, while the control output is available as either NPN or PNP open collector output.

• Model Designation:
  • BWP 20 - ❶ ❷
    • ❶ Number of Optical Axes: Choose from 8, 12, 16, or 20.
    • ❷ Control Output Type:
      • No-mark: NPN open collector output
      • P: PNP open collector output
