M30 Photoelectric Sensor (Reflective Plate)
M30 Photoelectric Sensor (Reflective Plate)
The M30 photoelectric sensor is a type of industrial sensor used for detecting the presence or absence of objects, distance measurement, and other applications where reliable object detection is crucial. Here's an overview of its features, types, and applications:
Features:
Size and Design:
- The "M30" refers to the 30mm diameter of the sensor body, which is a standard size in industrial automation.
Detection Methods:
- Diffuse: The sensor emits light and detects the reflection from the target object.
- Retro-reflective: The sensor works with a reflector. It detects an object when the light path between the sensor and the reflector is interrupted.
- Through-beam: Consists of a separate emitter and receiver. The object is detected when it breaks the light beam between the two.
Range:
- Varies depending on the detection method, typically from a few millimeters to several meters.
Output Types:
- PNP or NPN transistor outputs for interfacing with control systems.
- Analog outputs for distance measurement.
Environmental Protection:
- Often comes with high IP ratings (e.g., IP67) for protection against dust and water.
Connection Types:
- Various connection options, including cable, M12 connector, etc.
Adjustments:
- Sensitivity adjustment via potentiometer or teach-in button for setting detection range and sensitivity.
Applications:
Manufacturing and Automation:
- Object detection on conveyor belts, presence/absence detection in assembly lines, part counting.
Packaging:
- Detecting packages on conveyors, verifying package integrity.
Material Handling:
- Detecting items on automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or robotic arms.
Quality Control:
- Ensuring that components are present and correctly placed during production processes.
Safety Systems:
- Using through-beam sensors as safety barriers.
