The Autonics BS5-K2M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors use a through-beam sensing type with a fixed 5 mm sensing distance, detecting opaque objects as small as Γ0.8 mm Γ 2 mm. A precise hysteresis control of β€0.05 mm ensures stable detection in repetitive, high-speed applications like part positioning and quality inspection.
Powered by 5β24 VDC Β±10% and consuming only 30 mA, the sensor operates with a fast 20 ΞΌs Light ON and 100 ΞΌs Dark ON response, supporting speeds up to 2 kHz. Its 940 nm infrared LED delivers consistent performance even under ambient light up to 1,000 lx. The PNP open collector output integrates easily with PLCs and automation controllers, while built-in reverse polarity and short-circuit protection extend operational safety.
With a durable PBT + PC housing rated IP50, the Autonics BS5-K2M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors resist vibration up to 196 m/sΒ² and shocks up to 15,000 m/sΒ². Operating in temperatures from -20Β°C to 55Β°C, they are built for continuous duty in harsh industrial environments, backed by the reliability of the Autonics brand.
The Autonics BS5-K2M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors are ideal for label detection in packaging lines, component sensing in electronics assembly, and position verification in automated machinery. Their rapid switching speed supports conveyor sorting, filling stations, and high-speed inspection systems without causing process delays. Maintenance teams benefit from the connector-type design for fast replacements, while OEMs rely on the sensorβs durability and precision in high-cycle, continuous production environments.
