Retroreflective area sensor RLG28-55-7462

RLG28-55-7462
  • Retro-reflective area sensor with 6 light beams in standard photoelectric-sensor enclosure
  • Connection compatibly replaces single beam photoelectric sensor
  • Reliable detection of the front edge of the object irrespective of its shape and position
  • Constant object detection from 12 mm within the entire detection area
  • Reliable detection of all surfaces irrespective of the object texture
  • Switches when contrast difference 10%
  • Bright, highly visible transmitter beams guarantee convenient alignment of the sensor

Function

The RLG28 retro-reflective area sensor contains several transmitters and receivers in one housing and with a reflector positioned opposite forms a 60 mm detection area over a sensing range of 4 m.

When the light beams are interrupted by an object, the switching function is triggered. The smallest detectable object size is 12 mm. The RLG28 switches at a 10% contrast difference with a response time of 1 ms.
