Background Suppression Sensor, Fiber-Optic Type, Miniature Design, Model ML10-8-H-3,2-IR/115
Product Description
The background suppression sensor, designated as ML10-8-H-3,2-IR/115, operates using modulated infrared light at 870 nm and is engineered for precise detection. It provides a detection range from 0.9 mm to a maximum of 4 mm, with background suppression beginning at 4 mm. The sensor's light spot diameter measures 2 mm when positioned at a range of 2.2 mm, and it has an opening angle of approximately 24°.
With a switching accuracy of less than 0.5 mm for black (6%) and white (90%) surfaces, the sensor ensures reliable performance. Its repeat accuracy for white surfaces is below 0.1 mm. The device is built to withstand ambient temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 60 °C and can be stored in temperatures as low as -20 °C and as high as 75 °C.
Constructed with an IP65 protection degree, the housing is made from a combination of PC/ABS, while the optical face is glass. The sensor is equipped with a 2 m cable featuring a 5-pin connector, and the overall dimensions are 14 mm in height, 12 mm in width, and 20 mm in length. The unit weighs 30 g and adheres to multiple standards and directives, including EN 60947-5-2:2007 and IEC 60947-5-2:2007 for electromagnetic compatibility.
