Built for precision, the Autonics BUP-30S U-shaped Photoelectric Sensor features a through-beam sensing type with a sensing distance of 30mm, ideal for detecting opaque objects as small as Γ1.5mm. It uses a stable infrared LED (940nm) as its light source and responds in under 1ms, ensuring real-time object detection with minimal delay. With Light ON/Dark ON modes selectable via control wire and sensitivity adjustment built-in, it offers versatility for dynamic environments. The sensor runs on a 12β24VDC power supply with low current consumption (max. 30mA), making it energy efficient for continuous operation. Its output is managed via an NPN open collector, compatible with standard control systems.
Engineered to withstand industrial challenges, the BUP-30S is encased in durable ABS and polycarbonate material, offers IP66-rated protection, and operates reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -25Β°C to 65Β°C. It resists up to 11,000lx sunlight and 3,000lx incandescent light, minimizing false triggers in brightly lit areas. Its cable-type connection (Γ4, 2m) ensures easy installation and long-term stability. With a compact structure and strong resistance to humidity (35β85% RH), this sensor stands out as a trusted choice for high-precision automation systems.
