The Autonics BTF15-BDTD photoelectric sensor is built with BGS (Background Suppression) reflective sensing technology, offering a stable detection range from 1 to 15mm. It precisely detects opaque or translucent targets as small as Γ0.2mm using a 650nm Red LED light source. With a fast response time of max. 1ms, this sensor ensures real-time feedback critical for high-speed industrial operations. Operating on a 12β24VDC supply with ripple tolerance (Β±10%), and consuming just 20mA, itβs designed for energy-efficient performance. The NPN open collector output and Dark ON mode support flexible integration with PLCs and control systems. Its rugged IP67 protection structure ensures long-term reliability in dusty, humid, or high-vibration environments.
The BTF15-BDTD features a robust cable connection type (Γ2.5mm, 2m), housed in high-strength materials like polybutylene terephthalate for the case and polymethyl methacrylate for the sensing part. The sensor withstands ambient temperatures from -25Β°C to 55Β°C and illumination up to 10,000 lx, making it suitable for varied industrial settings. Additional accessories like an SUS304 stainless-steel bracket and M2 bolts are included for secure mounting. With only 5% max. hysteresis at the sensing distance, it offers high repeatability and accuracy in precision tasks. This model's compact form and reliable detection performance make it a preferred choice among maintenance engineers and automation specialists.
Applications for the Autonics Ultra-Compact, Thin Type Photo Sensors BTF15-BDTD range from compact machinery to electronic component detection, conveyor edge sensing, and automated positioning systems. Its slim body fits seamlessly into tight panels or narrow sensing zones where standard sensors wonβt fit. This model is especially useful in PCB manufacturing lines, electronics assembly, and robotic arms where high-speed and micro-object detection are critical. Itβs also a trusted solution in pharmaceutical and packaging lines that require precision without compromise. Whether you're an experienced automation engineer or an industrial maintenance trainee, this sensor delivers consistent performance you can rely on.
