Output indication: Yellow LEDMain features:
The diffuse photoelectric sensor emits a red light beam that reflects off an object and returns to the receiver.
Thanks to background suppression technology, the sensor ignores light or reflective backgrounds, ensuring precise detection even under challenging lighting conditions.
Its special optical design allows accurate differentiation between the object and the background.
Provides stable performance even under bright ambient light.Usage and applications:
For home users: Suitable for object detection in workshops or DIY automation projects.
For engineers / automation specialists: Widely used in factories, conveyors, packaging, transport, sorting systems, robotics, and CNC machinery. Suitable for detecting metal, plastic, cardboard, glass, or other opaque objects.
For electricians / technicians: Easily connectable to controllers (PLC), relays, or direct automation systems. IP67 protection ensures safe use in humid or dusty environments.Advantages:
Background suppression – reliable detection regardless of background or reflections
Adjustable detection distance – easy adaptation to specific tasks
Integrated transmitter and receiver – simple installation
Durable metal housing (nickel-copper alloy) – long lifespan and environmental resistance
IP67 protection – resistant to dust, moisture, and vibration
Disadvantages:
More sensitive to color contrast on highly reflective or dark surfaces
Requires precise distance adjustment for optimal operation
