The Autonics BMS5M-TDT is a through-beam Photoelectric Sensor designed for accurate detection of opaque targets as small as Γ10mm over a 5m sensing distance. It uses a 940nm infrared LED light source, enabling high stability even in environments with strong ambient light (up to 11,000lx sunlight or 3,000lx incandescent).
This sensor offers a fast 1ms response time, making it suitable for high-speed automation lines. It supports Light ON/Dark ON operation, selectable via control wire, and operates on a 12β24VDC supply with Β±10% ripple. The NPN open collector output ensures seamless integration with PLCs and industrial control systems. With a maximum current consumption of 50mA for both emitter and receiver, it is energy-efficient while maintaining consistent performance.
Housed in a robust ABS body with a polycarbonate sensing part, the BMS5M-TDT is rated for temperatures from -10Β°C to 60Β°C and humidity up to 85% RH. It comes with a 2m cable, mounting brackets, bolts, and nuts for easy installation and alignment. Learn more on the Autonics brand page or browse the Autonics Photoelectric Sensors category.
The Autonics BMS5M-TDT Economical General-Purpose Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in automated conveyors for pallet or box detection, packaging machines for label or seal verification, and industrial warehouses for position sensing in stacking systems. Its long sensing range is ideal for applications where safety gates or large object detection is required. In automotive assembly, it supports component presence detection, while in food processing, it helps in counting and positioning packages without physical contact. Its durability, accuracy, and ease of setup make it a reliable choice for both system upgrades and new automation projects.
