SICK Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor Block Sensor 1.5 m Detection Range NPN Output IP67 RAY10-AB4CBLA00

SICK RAY10-AB4CBLA00 Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor is a robust block sensor designed for reliable object detection up to a range of 1.5 meters. It employs an LED light source with a retroreflective detection method, making it highly effective for detecting small, flat, transparent, and unevenly formed objects such as glass bottles and polybags on conveyor belts. The sensor's design allows detection regardless of the object's position, reducing false triggers and enhancing operational efficiency in automation tasks.

Equipped with an NPN output and a 4-Pin Connector terminal type, this sensor supports seamless integration within control systems, offering a maximum operating voltage of 30V DC and maximum current of 100mA. Its IO-Link interface facilitates communication and diagnostic features, including predictive maintenance via status signals to PLCs. The sensor's IP67 rating provides excellent protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring durability in industrial settings.

The Reflex Array series, including RAY10, features a 25 mm-high light array capable of detecting objects as small as 5 mm. This sensor also benefits from manual or IO-Link-based conveyor belt suppression for more precise detection. Its housing is made from sturdy plastic and designed for panel mounting, withstanding industrial operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C and a fast response time of 500 microseconds for dynamic applications.
