The new LD30 PBR IO photoelectric laser sensors with IO-Link were designed to operate in IO-Link environments and in traditional automation systems. They offer four predefined and selectable application functions: speed and length, pattern recognition, divider function, and object and gap monitoring. These laser sensors can also detect clear materials without a reflector due to the new dual detection sensing principle. They can also detect small objects or holes over distances of up to 600 mm or close to a background due to Gavazzi’s background and foreground sensing principles, which can be adjusted through customization of the sensors. The LD30 PBR IO is housed in either the IP69K Ecolab-approved stainless steel AISI316L housing or IP67 plastic housing.
