The Autonics BX5M-MFR is designed as a Universal AC/DC Photoelectric Sensor with retroreflective sensing up to 5m using the MS-2 reflector. It employs an 850nm infrared LED with a fast 20ms maximum response time, ensuring stable detection of opaque objects as small as Γ60mm. Operating on a wide 24β240VAC or 24β240VDC supply, it provides flexibility for both modern PLCs and legacy relay systems. Its relay output, sensitivity adjuster, and selectable Light ON/Dark ON modes allow engineers to fine-tune performance for varied line conditions. Built with polycarbonate housing, acrylic optics, and IP66 protection, it withstands dust, moisture, and light interference, while the terminal block connection simplifies wiring during installation. This robust design ensures efficiency, low power consumption of 3VA, and long-term reliability in industrial environments.
The BX5M-MFR Photoelectric Sensor is widely applied in conveyors, packaging inspection, and warehouse logistics where long-distance detection is essential. It accurately tracks boxes, cartons, and pallets in mid-speed production lines, reducing errors and improving throughput. In heavy industries, its rugged body resists vibration and dust, making it suitable for steel handling and material processing. For maintenance engineers, the sensorβs easy wiring and setup save downtime, while students and junior engineers value it as a reliable example of practical automation technology. By combining reach, durability, and adaptability, the Autonics BX5M-MFR continues to support industries with consistent detection performance.
Industrial buyers often search for BX5M-MFR or simply MFR when sourcing Autonics Photoelectric Sensors for universal AC/DC applications.
