RS PRO Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 5 m Detection Range

Introducing photoelectric sensors retroreflective detection from RS PRO, a selection of robust and high quality sensors ideal for use in a wide range of industrial applications. These high performance sensors feature an all in one design with emitter and receiver built into a single durable housing, making them highly cost effective and easy to install. These compact sensors use fixed distance retroreflective detection with infrared LED lights to emit light, which is sent back using a reflector for contact free detection of objects and surfaces. The RS PRO photoelectric sensors with retroreflective detection also feature excellent anti-interference performance, providing reliable results in a wide range of environments that use transparent objects. For enhanced protection the sensors also offer an IP67 protection rating, ensuring it remains protected against dust and moisture.

Photoelectric sensors are devices used in a wide range of industrial applications that use automated technology to detect and measure the distance of various objects and surfaces to perform a task. Retroreflective photoelectric sensors feature either infrared (IR) or visible LED bulbs to emit light which is bounced back to the receiver using a reflector. Targets are identified once the light beam is interrupted by a passing object. For this reason, retroreflective sensors are ideal for applications that may include transparent objects and are used in a wide range of areas including:

• Manufacturing machinery


• Home appliances


• Washroom facilities

IP67, CE.
