Long-Range Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors

Long-range cylindrical plastic photoelectric sensors are through-beam photoelectric sensors consisting of separate transmitter and receiver units with M30 threaded plastic housings, sending the beam to the far end of a long opening and giving an output when the beam is interrupted. They are used to detect the passage of vehicles, pallets or materials at wide hall passages, on long conveying lines and at vehicle entry points where the risk of mechanical shock is low. The category includes Lanbao-brand PR30TSL models with a 150 m sensing distance, M30 diameter, 10-30 V DC supply and a 2 m cable. Make sure that the opening to be monitored is within the sensing distance; choose the receiver's PNP/NPN and NO/NC output according to your control input, and the supply voltage and cable length according to your installation. The metal-body PR30TL models of the same series are in a separate category; before ordering, verify the housing material together with the product code. The product whose output type is a light source is only the transmitter and is not a sensor that works on its own; for detection, it is purchased together with a receiver with a PNP/NPN output.

How to choose Long-Range Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors

Long-range cylindrical plastic photoelectric sensors are through-beam photoelectric sensors consisting of separate transmitter and receiver units with M30 threaded plastic housings, sending the beam to the far end of a long opening and giving an output when the beam is interrupted. They are used to detect the passage of vehicles, pallets or materials at wide hall passages, on long conveying lines and at vehicle entry points where the risk of mechanical shock is low.

  • Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
  • Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
  • Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
