Autonics BEN10M-TFR Photoelectric Sensor
Autonics BEN10M-TFR Retro-Reflective Photoelectric Sensor (10 m, NPN/PNP)
Long-distance retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with up to 10 m sensing range and DC transistor output.
Ideal for conveyor systems, packaging machines, and object detection where reflector-based sensing is preferred.
The Autonics BEN10M-TFR is a retro-reflective type photoelectric sensor designed for long-distance and stable object detection using a reflector. With a 10-meter sensing range, DC solid-state output, and high resistance to ambient light interference, it is ideal for conveyors, material handling systems, and packaging lines.
