  • Photoelectric sensor | polarized | for transparent object detection | 5000mm | 50x50x18mm | 10-30VDC | NO/NC | NPN+PNP | M12 | ABS | red LED beam | IP67

    Code: PTE-PM5DFB-E2

    Photoelectric sensor operating on the polarized reflection principle.
    It features high detection accuracy, resistance to environmental interference, and the ability to reliably detect transparent, semi-transparent, and reflective objects.

    With adjustable detection distance and integrated NPN+PNP output (NO/NC mode switchable via potentiometer), this model is suitable for both general automation systems and specialized production lines.

    Made of durable PC/ABS plastic with IP67 protection against dust and moisture, it ensures long-term operation even in harsh industrial environments.
