Allen‑Bradley 42FM16 Photoelectric Sensor

Feature & Principle

It is Allen‑Bradley 42 series photoelectric sensor. It transmits infrared light and receives reflected light signal to judge whether the target object enters the detection area, and outputs switching signal to PLC. It has strong anti-interference to ambient light, compact housing, easy installation and adjustment. It can be used for through-beam, retro-reflective or diffuse mode according to configuration, widely applied for material handling, packaging and conveyor detection.
