The Autonics BTF15-BDTL is a compact BGS reflective type photoelectric sensor specifically engineered for applications where precision, space-efficiency, and fast response are critical. It delivers a reliable sensing distance of 1 to 15mm, making it ideal for detecting opaque or translucent objects as small as Γ0.2mm. Powered by a 650nm Red LED and operating in Light ON mode, it ensures consistent detection with a response time of just 1ms. The unit is designed to run on 12-24VDC with ripple tolerance of Β±10%, drawing a maximum of only 20mAβa key factor for energy-conscious industrial setups. Its NPN open collector output provides seamless connectivity with most control systems and PLCs.
Durability and environmental resistance are major highlights of this sensor. The IP67 protection structure ensures reliable performance even in dusty, humid, or wet industrial environments. It handles ambient light up to 10,000lx sunlight and operates across a wide temperature range from -25Β°C to 55Β°C. With a solid cable-type connection (Γ2.5mm, 2m), installation is easy and secure. Internally, itβs built using durable materials including polybutylene terephthalate and SUS304 stainless steel components, ensuring longevity. The sensor comes with mounting accessories like an SUS304 bracket and M2 bolts, making setup faster for engineers on-site. With hysteresis limited to just 5% of the sensing range, this model excels in high-repeatability applications where even slight inconsistencies matter.
Engineers often choose the Autonics Ultra-Compact, Thin Type Photo Sensors BTF15-BDTL for scenarios where traditional sensors wonβt fit. Its slim profile is perfect for integration into compact machinery, pick-and-place systems, or PCB inspection stations. Its precise object detection is especially useful in conveyor systems for identifying small or translucent items in electronics assembly lines, pharmaceutical packaging, and automated labeling machines. In these use cases, fast response and reliable differentiation between object types are essential to avoid production errors. Whether you're a seasoned industrial maintenance engineer or an engineering student learning automation, this sensor provides dependable performance, easy integration, and trusted quality.
