Balluff BOS017C

The Balluff BOS017C BOS 23K-PU-LH10-S4 Cubic Diffuse Sensor is engineered for precision and reliability in industrial automation applications. This photoelectric sensor features a washdown series design, making it ideal for environments requiring stringent hygiene standards. With a compact dimension of 23 x 51 x 52.4 mm, it fits seamlessly into tight spaces while providing robust performance.

Utilizing triangulation and background suppression, this sensor ensures accurate detection of objects within a range of 5 to 800 mm. The collimated laser red light with a light spot size of 2.2 x 2.2 mm at 800 mm enhances detection precision. The sensor supports both light-on and dark-on input functions, and its PNP interface allows for normally open/normally closed (NO/NC) switching.

Built with a durable PC ABS housing and a PMMA sensing surface, the BOS017C is designed to withstand harsh conditions. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -20 to 60°C and is protected against short circuits, polarity reversal, and device mix-ups. The sensor complies with CE, Ecolab, cULus, and WEEE standards, ensuring high quality and safety.

Applications include packaging, material handling, and automation systems where precise object detection and durability are crucial. The sensor's IP6x and IPx9K ratings further confirm its suitability for washdown environments.
