The Autonics BS5-T2M 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 tight hysteresis of β€0.05 mm ensures consistent detection accuracy in repetitive, high-speed processes such as part verification and packaging.
Operating on 5β24 VDC Β±10% and consuming just 30 mA, the sensor delivers ultra-fast response times of 20 ΞΌs (Light ON) and 100 ΞΌs (Dark ON), with a 2 kHz response frequency. The 940 nm infrared LED ensures stable performance under ambient light up to 1,000 lx. Its NPN open collector output integrates seamlessly with PLCs and automation controllers, while built-in reverse polarity and short-circuit protection enhance reliability.
Encased in a durable PBT + PC housing rated IP50, the Autonics BS5-T2M Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors withstand vibration up to 196 m/sΒ² and shocks up to 15,000 m/sΒ². With an operating temperature range of -20Β°C to 55Β°C, they are built for demanding industrial environments, backed by the proven quality of Autonics Sensors & Controllers.
The Autonics BS5-T2M Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors are used in label detection, component positioning, and quality inspection across packaging, electronics, and automated assembly lines. Their fast switching speed ensures reliable performance in conveyor sorting, filling, and high-speed counting applications. Maintenance teams benefit from the connector-type design for quick replacements, while OEMs value its stability and precision in continuous high-cycle industrial operations.
