The Autonics BY500-TDT1,2 Compact Synchronous Photo Sensor is built for accurate object detection in industrial environments. Using a through-beam type sensing method, it detects opaque materials as small as Γ5mm over a 500mm range. Its infrared LED (940nm) light source combined with Dark ON operation mode ensures stable performance even in challenging ambient lighting conditions up to 11,000 lx sunlight and 3,000 lx incandescent light.
With a fast 1ms response time and 12β24VDC Β±10% operating range, the BY500-TDT1,2 supports high-speed automation without compromising accuracy. Power consumption is limited to 30mA for efficiency. An NPN open collector output allows easy integration with PLCs and control systems. The IP50-rated PC housing, along with SPCC and SCM hardware, offers solid resistance against dust and industrial wear.
The cable-type connection (Γ4 mm, 2 m) simplifies installation in tight machine layouts. For full technical details, visit the Autonics Sensors & Controllers page or explore the complete Autonics Photoelectric Sensors catalog.
