Triangulation Sensor with Background Suppression ML6-8-H-60-RT/59/115a/136
Product Description
The triangulation sensor is designed for standard applications and incorporates background suppression technology. It features an adjustable detection range from 10 mm to 60 mm, with a maximum detection capability reaching 80 mm. The sensor operates using modulated visible red light at a wavelength of 660 nm, ensuring precise detection. The diameter of the light spot at 60 mm is approximately 4 mm, with an opening angle of around 5 degrees.
It includes two push-pull outputs that are programmable for light/dark on switching and are equipped with short-circuit protection and reverse polarity safeguards. The sensor supports a switching frequency of up to 1000 Hz and has a response time of 0.5 ms, making it suitable for dynamic applications.
With a robust design, it achieves a degree of protection rated at IP67 and IP69K, ensuring reliable operation in harsh conditions. The sensor can function effectively in ambient temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 60 °C, and has a storage temperature capability of -20 °C to 75 °C. The housing is constructed from ABS, while the optical face is made of PMMA, making the unit lightweight at approximately 50 g.
The product conforms to the EN 60947-5-2 standard and meets various safety and environmental compliance certifications, including cULus and CCC. The designation code for this model is ML6-8-H-60-RT/59/115a/136, which can be referenced for further specifications and details.
