Datasheet

• Compact and lightweight; ideal for use on robotic end effectors

• Class 2 laser diode light source

• Convergent beam models have precise, high-energy sensing spot at

focus, available in four focal lengths: 50 mm (2 in), 100 mm (4 in), 200

mm (8 in), and 300 mm (12 in)

• Retroreflective models have precise, narrow beam; excellent for sensing

the presence of tiny parts at close range, small parts at medium ranges,

and for accurate sensing over long distances

• Fast, 0.2 millisecond sensing response for high-speed sensing or

counting

• 10 to 30 V dc operation; choice of NPN or PNP complementary solid

state output

• Choose models with 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) unterminated cable, or

with 150 mm (6 in) Euro-style pigtail quick-disconnect (QD) connector

Retroreflective-Mode Models. Excellent for applications where high sensing power and small beam size are important.

Operates over sensing ranges typically accomplished only by conventional opposed-mode photoelectrics; uses a special

filter to polarize the emitted light, filtering out unwanted reflections from shiny objects. (Visible Red; Class 2 laser; 650

nm)

To order 9 m (30 ft) cables, add the suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., PD45VN6LLP W/30).

Models with QD connectors require an optional mating cable.

Convergent-Mode Models. Excels at sensing small parts and profiles and uses fixed-field technology to ignore objects

beyond the maximum sensing distance. (Visible Red; Class 2 laser; 650 nm)

Performance curves based on BRT-51X51BM retro target

Range tested using a BRT-51x51BM retro target (included with each sensor). Actual range depends on the efficiency and size of the retroreflective target

used. Some targets have produced ranges up to 39.6 m (130 ft).

PD45 Series PicoDot Polarized Retroreflective and Convergent Laser Sensors Retroreflective Sensor Beam Size Unlike conventional retroreflective sensors, the retroreflective laser has the ability to sense relatively small profiles. The figures demonstrate the diameter of the smallest opaque rod that reliably breaks the laser beam at several sensor-to-object distances. These values assume an excess gain of about 10×.
