Valosähköinen anturi Datalogic BASIC M12 — harmaa kotelo, messinkirunko, 0,5 kHz, 0,2 A, 48,4 mm syvyys

Datalogic BASIC M12 is a photoelectric sensor in a grey finish with a brass housing, designed for object detection in industrial automation. The sensor offers a compact form factor with a depth of 48.4 mm and a lightweight construction of approximately 60 g, suitable for integration into confined spaces and machinery panels. It provides a switching frequency of 0.5 kHz and supports a maximum switching current of 0.2 A, making it appropriate for basic detection tasks where a robust metal housing is required.

Advantages

The brass body combines mechanical robustness and resistance to wear typical of cylindrical sensor designs, while the grey external finish supports unobtrusive installation in varied environments. Its compact depth and low weight simplify mounting in restricted locations. The device’s switching frequency and current rating match common requirements for straightforward object presence detection and simple control loops. The sensor’s construction follows established cylindrical sensor dimensions used across factory automation.

Suitable for

• Basic presence/absence detection on conveyor lines
• Object counting and simple position sensing
• Integration into compact machine housings and panels
• Applications requiring a metal (brass) housing for mechanical durability

Key specifications

• Sensor type: photoelectric sensor for object detection
• Housing material: brass
• External finish: grey
• Switching frequency: 0.5 kHz
• Maximum switching current: 0.2 A
• Depth: 48.4 mm
• Weight: approximately 60 g

How to use

Mount the sensor in a stable position aligned to the detection zone, ensuring the sensing face has a clear line of sight to the target area. Connect the sensor according to the manufacturer’s wiring for the required output configuration and verify power and signal compatibility with the control system. Adjust installation distance and alignment to ensure reliable switching at the expected object size and reflectivity. Secure the sensor with appropriate fixtures to avoid vibration or displacement during operation.

Recommendations

Use the sensor in environments consistent with its brass housing properties: avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals not compatible with brass. For reliable operation, confirm the target’s optical characteristics suit a photoelectric sensor and validate switching behavior during commissioning under representative production conditions.
