Product Overview
The D-44 BW Series Area Sensor is a high-performance through-beam type sensor designed for long-distance detection up to 7 meters. It offers a wide range of configurations with 22 product types, featuring optical axis pitches of 20mm and 40mm, and sensing heights from 120mm to 940mm. The 20mm optical axis pitch (BW20- models) minimizes unsensing areas, ensuring comprehensive coverage. High-brightness LEDs on both the emitter and receiver enhance visibility from side, front, and long distances. Integrated self-diagnosis, mutual interference prevention, and external diagnosis functions ensure reliable operation and easy troubleshooting. The sensor boasts an IP65 protection structure according to IEC standards, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
