The Autonics BWPK25-05 uses a through-beam detection system with 5 optical axes spaced at 25mm, delivering accurate detection of opaque materials from 0.05 to 3 meters. Its 100mm sensing height ensures consistent coverage in compact automation setups.
Powered by 12β24VDC (Β±10%) with NPN open collector output, the sensor supports Light ON/Dark ON modes adjustable via a built-in switch. The fast 30ms response time and robust IP40-rated polycarbonate housing guarantee reliable performance even in high-speed industrial operations.
The BWPK25-05 includes a 2-meter cable for easy integration, withstands ambient light up to 10,000lx, and can detect small components as tiny as Γ35mm. Its compact design suits panel integration, sensor arrays, and localized automation tasks.
The BWPK25-05 is ideal for panel integration, conveyor monitoring, and component inspection in industrial automation. Engineers value its adjustable detection modes, fast response, and compact footprint for reliable performance. For precision short-to-mid range sensing, the Autonics BWPK25-05 ensures accuracy, durability, and seamless integration in tight automation environments.
