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. High-brightness LEDs on both the emitter and receiver ensure easy recognition from various angles and distances. Integrated self-diagnosis, mutual interference prevention, and external diagnosis functions enhance reliability and ease of maintenance. The sensor boasts an IP65 protection structure, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
