Carlo Gavazzi Retro-Reflective Photoelectric Sensor (PC50CNR10RP-2M)
The Carlo Gavazzi PC50CNR10RP-2M is a high-performance, industrial-grade retro-reflective photoelectric sensor engineered for reliable non-contact object detection in challenging factory automation and material handling environments. Housed in a compact, rugged square PC/ABS enclosure, this sensor offers a generous 10-meter sensing range when paired with a standard corner-cube reflector. Featuring advanced modulated infrared light technology, it minimizes false triggers caused by ambient glare or high-frequency lighting, making it an ideal choice for tracking, counting, and positioning applications on high-speed production lines.
Key Features
-
Long-Range Optical Performance: Provides a stable 10m operating distance, allowing for flexible installation layout setups across wide conveyor lines, gates, and factory transit aisles.
-
High Chemical & Impact Resistance: Encased in a reinforced polycarbonate/ABS composite housing with an IP67 rating, safeguarding the internal optics against moisture ingress, aggressive dust, and washdown spray.
-
Dual Output Modes (Light On / Dark On): Equipped with a selectable output design that supports both Light On and Dark On operations, simplifying integration into diverse PLC logic control circuits.
-
Clear LED Status Indication: Outfitted with highly visible dual-LED indicators (Yellow for output activation, Green for target signal stability) to expedite on-site mechanical alignment and diagnostic troubleshooting.
-
Pre-Wired 2-Meter Cable Connection: Includes a durable, industrial-grade 2m PVC cable for reliable connection directly into electrical distribution boxes without the need for accessory patch cords.
