Balluff’s new R01E stainless-steel flatpack photoelectric sensor with its IP69K rating is suitable for harsh duty and washdown applications.These sensors offer diffuse versions with ranges up to 100 mm, polarized retro-reflective modes with ranges up to one meter, and through-beam sensing modes with ranges up to 2.2 m.With a precise, uniform, visible red light beam, alignment is easy and objects are reliably detected.

Not only does the small size provide flexibility in installation, but the stainless-steel housing is built to survive the toughest applications in the harshest environments.Connections are made by cable or M8 three-pin quick disconnect.

These sensors are suitable for applications such as packaging machinery, assembly machinery, material handling, small part detection, error proofing, and general purpose automation.All R01E sensors offer reverse polarity and short circuit protection.

Features of the Balluff R01E include the following:

• Red light

• Miniature stainless-steel housing

• Polyamide (PA) optical surface

• PNP, NPN, NO, NC outputs

• IP69K

• Diffuse, retro-reflective, and through-beam sensing modes
