RS PRO Diffuse with Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 1 m Detection Range IO-LINK

Introducing the range of RS PRO Photoelectric Sensors with IO-Link Communication. These versatile and high-quality sensors are an essential addition to any environment where detection of an object's presence, absence, or distance is integral to business operations, like manufacturing plants and industrial environments. The compact sensor has been designed to fit in areas where space is limited, while offering the same high-performance as a standard sensor. With the RS PRO seal of approval, you are guaranteed a premium performance product, without the premium product price tag.

A photoelectric sensor is a non-contact device that is able to detect the presence or absence of virtually any object regardless of material. The sensors do this by emitting a beam of infrared light that detects the object or absence of the object, depending on how it has been set up. By using this detection method, the photoelectric sensor offers a non-contact sensing solution which means little change of sensor damage and interference, as well as long service life. These sensors are especially useful for manufacturing automation and industrial automation sensing operations where certain objects need to be monitored for effective working and for the guarantee of quality.

RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice. Trusted by engineers all over the world, every part of every RS PRO product has been rigorously tested against demanding industry standards

This sensor works on a Diffuse Polarized Reflection principle and has a special feature, TOF. With this feature it's possible to measure distances using the time the light takes from the transmitter to return to the receiver.
