The Pepperl + Fuchs ML4.2-8-H-60-IR/40B/95/110 is a state-of-the-art background suppression sensor designed for precise and reliable object detection in a variety of industrial applications. This compact sensor is equipped with a modulated infrared light source, ensuring high immunity to ambient light interference and providing a detection range of 10 to 60 mm, with background suppression starting from 80 mm.
Crafted with a robust miniature housing, the sensor offers an IP67/IP69K degree of protection, making it suitable for harsh environments where dust, moisture, and high-pressure washdowns are prevalent. The optical face is made of glass, enhancing durability and resistance to scratches and chemicals.
The sensor features a small, sharp light spot that allows for maximum switching precision, particularly on object edges. This precision is further supported by a very small black-white difference, which ensures consistent detection regardless of the colour or reflectivity of the target.
For ease of use, the ML4.2-8-H-60-IR/40B/95/110 is equipped with highly visible LEDs that indicate power-on status, switching status, short-circuit, and undervoltage conditions. The push-pull output and the ability to switch between light on and dark on modes provide versatility for integration into various control systems.
Installation is made simple with metal-reinforced mounting holes, and the sensor's tamper-proof design requires no adjustments, making it a reliable choice for set-and-forget applications. The sensor operates within a temperature range of -20 to 60°C, ensuring performance stability in varying climates.
Overall, the Pepperl + Fuchs ML4.2-8-H-60-IR/40B/95/110 sensor is an excellent choice for businesses seeking a high-quality, precise, and durable solution for their object detection needs in automated processes and machinery.
