Banner Engineering Corp. Photoelectric, Industrial SM312CVQD

The Mini-Beam sensor model SM312CV is a compact, self-contained device designed for DC operation within a voltage range of 10-30V. It features a convergent mode sensing capability, producing a precise 1.3 mm diameter sensing spot at a focus distance of 16 mm from the lens. The sensor supports both NPN and PNP output configurations, with a maximum output current of 150 mA, and is equipped with overload and short-circuit protection. This sensor includes a switch-selectable option for light operate or dark operate modes and boasts a highly repeatable response time of 1 millisecond. The construction is rugged, meeting various NEMA standards and rated IP67 for environmental protection. The sensor is also compatible with 18 mm barrel-type photoelectric sensors, making it a versatile choice for various applications. Engineers should consider this sensor for projects requiring precise sensing in compact spaces, with the added benefits of robust construction and flexible output options.
