Compact photoelectric sensors
12 August 2014
The new generation of photoelectric sensors in the BOS 6K series from Balluff features dimensions of just 31.5 x 19.5 x 10.8mm making the units suitable for use on tight spaces on compact machines.

The 70 available variants provide a functional product range, with red light and laser versions (class 1) for very demanding jobs. The range features impressive precision, range and function reserves. Diffuse sensors, through-beam sensors, reflection light sensors with and without background suppression and analogue distance sensors, each with the flexibility to be configured for light/dark switching, are just a few examples from the BOS 6K family.
All the sensors have a tough, durable plastic housing with abrasion-resistant laser inscription. A special design element protects the optics from the side.
