Industrial area sensor Autonics BW40-04P featuring self diagnosis and mutual interference prevention
Product Overview
The D-44 BW Series Area Sensor is a high-performance through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for long-distance detection up to 7 meters. It offers a wide range of configurations with 22 product types, featuring optical axis pitches of 20mm or 40mm and sensing heights from 120mm to 940mm. The 20mm optical axis pitch minimizes unsensing areas, making it ideal for precise detection. Both emitter and receiver are equipped with high-brightness LEDs for easy recognition from any angle and distance. The sensor includes advanced self-diagnosis, mutual interference prevention, and external diagnosis functions for reliable operation. Its robust IP65 protection structure ensures durability in industrial environments.
