Pepperl + Fuchs MLV12-54-LAS/92/120

The Pepperl + Fuchs MLV12-54-LAS/92/120 is a state-of-the-art retroreflective sensor designed for precision detection in a variety of industrial applications. This compact sensor is housed in a robust standard housing that is widely recognised for its durability and reliability in challenging environments.

Featuring a laser diode that emits modulated visible red light, the MLV12-54-LAS/92/120 ensures a high degree of repeatability with its small light spot, allowing for the reliable detection of objects with no blind zone. The sensor's effective detection range extends up to 12 metres, with a threshold detection range of 17 metres when used with the recommended MH82 reflector.

Equipped with a polarization filter, this sensor can distinguish between true targets and reflective backgrounds, enhancing its accuracy. The laser light source is classified as Class 1, ensuring safe operation while maintaining high performance.

The MLV12-54-LAS/92/120 offers flexibility with its light/dark on switching capability and features two PNP outputs. These outputs are short-circuit protected and reverse polarity protected, ensuring a secure and stable connection. The sensor's operating voltage ranges from 10 to 30 V DC, with a maximum no-load supply current of 40 mA.

For ease of installation, the sensor comes with a 4-pin, M12 metal connector that is rotatable by 90 degrees, allowing for convenient alignment and setup. The housing dimensions are compact, with a width of 41.5 mm, height of 49 mm, and depth of 15 mm, making it suitable for integration into systems where space is at a premium.

The MLV12-54-LAS/92/120 is designed to withstand the rigours of industrial environments, boasting an IP67 rating for protection against dust and water ingress. Its mechanical specifications ensure it can operate effectively within an ambient temperature range of -10 to 50 °C.

This retroreflective sensor is an ideal choice for automation tasks that require precise object detection, including packaging, material handling, and machine positioning. Its robust construction, combined with advanced sensing technology, provides a reliable solution for demanding industrial applications.
