With dimensions of just 20 x 7.5 x 10mm, the BOS2K sensors offer unbeatable performance and are easy to attach in slots, pockets or guide rails.
The small, laser-like light spot enables reliable detection of even the smallest objects in tight mounting space conditions.
Exact positioning, precisely defined scan ranges and a light spot just 1mm in size are all made possible by a new kind of pinpoint LED.
The highlight of this sub-mini-format series is true background suppression - a key function of photoelectric sensors.
For protection against harsh environments the sensor has an IP67 rating, and the mounting of these sensors using a metal sleeve and M3 screws contributes to longer service life.
