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 minimizes unsensing areas, making it ideal for precise detection. Both the emitter and receiver utilize high-brightness LEDs for easy recognition from any angle and distance. The sensor includes advanced functions such as self-diagnosis, mutual interference prevention, and external diagnosis, ensuring reliable operation. With an IP65 protection structure, it is suitable for demanding industrial environments.
