The Autonics BYD3M-TDT Compact Photoelectric Sensor is engineered with a through-beam sensing type capable of accurately detecting opaque objects as small as Γ6 mm across a sensing distance of 3 m. It uses a high-quality infrared LED light source operating in Dark ON mode, allowing for dependable performance even in environments with ambient sunlight up to 11,000 lx or incandescent lighting up to 3,000 lx. The fast 1 ms response time supports high-speed production lines, while its 12β24 VDC power input with Β±10% ripple tolerance ensures stable operation. With a low maximum current consumption of 30 mA for both emitter and receiver, it is energy-efficient and suitable for continuous use. The NPN open collector output provides compatibility with a wide range of PLC and control systems. Built with an IP64-rated housing and durable PC construction, this sensor is protected against dust and light water splashes, making it ideal for challenging factory environments. A robust cable connection (Γ3.5 mm, 2 m) ensures secure, maintenance-friendly installation.
Engineers choose the Autonics BYD3M-TDT Compact Photoelectric Sensor for precision detection in automated assembly lines, packaging systems, and quality inspection setups where consistent object sensing is critical. Its quick 1 ms response and immunity to ambient light make it reliable for high-speed conveyor monitoring, part positioning, and presence detection in material handling systems. Maintenance teams appreciate the IP64 protection and simple wiring, which reduce downtime and ensure dependable operation over time. For training environments and engineering students, it serves as a clear example of through-beam sensing principles in compact form.
