HONEYWELL leikkuri mediantunnistin

Detecting the presence of media such as paper, film, or labels in automated cutting systems can be a challenge when space is tight and reliability is critical. The Honeywell 205-187-006 cutter media present sensor addresses this with a compact photoelectric slot design that integrates emitter and receiver in a single housing, providing dependable through-beam detection without alignment hassles.

Who is it for

This sensor is ideal for OEMs and maintenance teams integrating or servicing cutting machines, printers, label applicators, and packaging equipment. It suits applications where a media strip must be detected within a fixed slot, and where a robust, industrial-grade sensor is required to withstand harsh environments.

Main features

• Integrated through-beam photoelectric sensor with 10 mm slot width for media detection.
• Selectable NPN or PNP output with Light-ON/Dark-ON modes for flexible integration.
• Fast response time under 0.5 ms and switching frequency up to 2000 Hz for high-speed operations.
• Rugged PBT housing with IP67 rating, resistant to dust and water immersion.
• Wide supply voltage range 10-30 VDC and short-circuit, reverse polarity, and overload protection.
• Clear LED indication: green for power, yellow for output status.
• Convenient M8 4-pin connector for quick installation and maintenance.

Tips

For optimal performance, ensure the media to be detected passes through the slot without touching the sensor walls. Use the selectable output configuration to match your controller logic, and take advantage of the M8 connector for easy replacement during maintenance. The IP67 rating allows use in washdown areas, but avoid prolonged submersion beyond specified limits.
