Autonics BRQM1M-DDTA-P Photoelectric Sensor
Autonics BRQM1M-DDTA-P Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor (1 m, PNP, M18, IP67)
M18 background suppression (BGS) diffuse photoelectric sensor with a 1-meter fixed sensing distance and PNP open-collector output.
Ensures accurate detection independent of object color and background distance, ideal for long-range precision automation.
The Autonics BRQM1M-DDTA-P is a background suppression (BGS) photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection at longer distances while ignoring background surfaces. With a fixed 1-meter sensing range, PNP output, and IP67 protection, it is ideal for conveyors, packaging machines, material handling systems, and OEM automation where detection accuracy is critical.
