Pepperl + Fuchs ML4.2-8-H-20-RT/40B/95/110

The Pepperl + Fuchs ML4.2-8-H-20-RT/40B/95/110 is a state-of-the-art background suppression sensor designed for precision detection in complex automation tasks. This compact sensor boasts a miniature design, making it suitable for applications where space is at a premium. With its precise background suppression capabilities, it ensures reliable detection with minimal black-white difference, enhancing operational accuracy.

The sensor features a small, sharp light spot and utilises modulated visible red light for detection, with a range of 7 to 20 mm and a maximum detection capability of 5 to 25 mm. The light source is a LED emitting at 660 nm, ensuring clear visibility and precise targeting. The unit's black-white difference is approximately 1 mm, which is remarkably small, allowing for the detection of objects with very slight contrasts.

Equipped with highly visible LEDs, the sensor provides clear indication of power status, switching status, short-circuit, and undervoltage conditions. The robust construction includes metal-reinforced fastening holes for secure installation and a tamper-proof design that requires no adjustments, ensuring consistent performance over time.

The ML4.2-8-H-20-RT/40B/95/110 operates within a voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC and features a push-pull output, which is both short-circuit protected and reverse polarity protected. It has a fast response time and a high switching frequency, making it suitable for applications requiring quick and precise operations.

For ease of integration, the sensor comes with an M8 connector and is designed to meet the rigorous standards of IP67/IP69K for protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. The sensor's housing is made of durable ABS material, and it includes a glass pane for the optical face, ensuring longevity and reliability.

This background suppression sensor is compliant with EN 60947-5-2 standards and has received approvals such as cULus Listed, demonstrating its quality and safety for industrial use. Whether used in manufacturing, packaging, material handling, or other automated processes, the Pepperl + Fuchs ML4.2-8-H-20-RT/40B/95/110 sensor is an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their operational efficiency with reliable and precise object detection.
