Bullnose Photoelectric Sensors for Universal Use | Innovating Automation With Balluff

Balluff’s photoelectric expert Logan Welch shared information on the new BOS R81K series photoelectric sensors deliver reliable detection in a wide range of industrial applications.

The bullnose sensors are available in retroreflective, diffuse, diffuse with background suppression and through-beam versions, each with PNP and NPN options.

The bright LED red light-beam in the retroreflective, diffuse and background suppression versions enable sensing ranges up to 3 m and gives accurate results even in dirty and dusty industrial atmosphere. The through beam version uses infrared and delivers a sensing range up to an impressive 20 m. Adjustment is quickly carried out by means of a top-mounted potentiometer.
