The FHDK 04G6112 from Baumer is a space-saving diffuse photoelectric sensor with background suppression, designed to deliver sharp, accurate detection performance in high-speed manufacturing and packaging environments. It employs a pulsed point source LED with a wavelength of 660 nm, allowing it to suppress reflective or complex backgrounds while maintaining precise foreground object recognition. With a reliable sensing distance of 50 mm -3 mm / +5 mm, it supports operations that demand consistent performance in close-range detection.
Powered by an 11β30 VDC supply voltage and consuming just 30 mA, this sensor balances efficiency with stability. It features a push-pull output circuit rated up to 50 mA, and includes built-in short-circuit protection along with a voltage drop below 2 VDC. Encased in a compact rectangular ASA plastic body measuring 4 mm x 44.8 mm x 6.2 mm, the sensor fits seamlessly into limited installation spaces. With a yellow LED indicator for quick status visibility, a 3-pin, 2-meter cable connection, and an IP65 rating, itβs built for long-lasting use in dusty and humid environments. The sensor also withstands operating temperatures from -10Β°C to +50Β°C, making it a versatile choice for general industrial sensing needs.
The Baumer FHDK 04G6112 is widely used in automated assembly machines for part presence checks, in packaging lines for product alignment, and in small-scale robotics for close-distance sensing without background noise. Its compact housing is perfect for mounting inside machines or embedded modules where standard sensors donβt fit. Maintenance engineers prefer this model for its plug-and-play simplicity, fast response time, and dependable background rejection, especially near reflective surfaces. Engineering students and interns benefit from learning with this sensor as it demonstrates key principles of proximity detection, background suppression, and real-time automation logic without the need for manual calibration. Whether on the factory floor or in a training lab, the FHDK 04G6112 helps teams achieve higher detection accuracy with less troubleshooting.
