The Autonics BS5-T1M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors use a through-beam sensing type with a fixed 5 mm sensing distance, detecting opaque targets as small as Γ0.8 mm Γ 2 mm. Its tight hysteresis of β€0.05 mm ensures stable detection in repetitive high-speed applications like part counting and positioning.
Powered by 5β24 VDC Β±10% and consuming just 30 mA, this sensor delivers ultra-fast response times of 20 ΞΌs (Light ON) and 100 ΞΌs (Dark ON), supporting operations up to 2 kHz. A 940 nm infrared LED provides consistent performance under varying light conditions, while the PNP open collector output integrates easily with PLCs and control systems. Built-in reverse polarity and short-circuit protection extend equipment safety and lifespan.
Built with a rugged PBT + PC housing rated IP50, the Autonics BS5-T1M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors withstand shocks up to 15,000 m/sΒ² and industrial vibration across all axes. Operating in ambient temperatures from -20Β°C to 55Β°C, they ensure reliable performance even in demanding environments, backed by Autonics Sensors & Controllers quality.
The Autonics BS5-T1M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors are widely used for label detection in packaging, component sensing in electronics assembly, and position verification in automated machinery. Their fast switching speed supports conveyor sorting, filling lines, and high-speed inspection systems without causing cycle delays. Maintenance teams appreciate the cable-type connection for secure installation, while OEMs trust its long-term stability in continuous high-cycle production environments.
