The Autonics BWPK25-05P Slim Body Area Sensor uses a through-beam sensing method, supporting both short-range (0.05–1 m) and long-range (0.1–3 m) detection. It employs a modulated Infrared LED at 850 nm, ensuring stable performance even under strong ambient light conditions.
Featuring a 25 mm optical axis pitch and five optical axes, the sensor achieves a 100 mm sensing height for improved coverage. It delivers a maximum response time of just 30 ms, making it suitable for fast-moving production lines where precise object detection is essential.
Designed with a polycarbonate/ABS housing and rated IP40, the BWPK25-05P withstands industrial environments with temperatures from -10 °C to 55 °C. It operates on 12–24 VDC ±10%, includes a PNP open collector output, and offers selectable Light ON/Dark ON modes for flexible integration into automation systems.
