Product Features (Bedook Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG15-S 6mm DC4 Wire)

Introducing the Bedook Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG15-S 6mm DC4 Wire, a state-of-the-art solution for precise object detection. This sensor combines advanced technology with a user-centric design. Its 6mm fixed detection distance strikes a balance between sensitivity and practicality, enabling it to detect small objects with great accuracy while being suitable for a wide range of installation distances.

The sensor’s ability to operate within a broad voltage range and low current consumption makes it an ideal choice for both energy-conscious and power-diverse applications. Bedook’s commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of this product, from its robust construction materials like PC + PBT for the housing and ABS for the display mask to its compliance with EMC and RoHS directives, ensuring safety and environmental friendliness.

Accurate Detection Capability: With a 6mm fixed detection distance and the ability to sense minimum 0.8mm×1.2mm opaque objects, the Bedook Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG15 – S 6mm DC4 Wire offers high-precision detection. In comparison to some similar products that may have larger minimum detectable object sizes or less consistent detection distances, this sensor stands out. For example, in the assembly of miniature electronic components, where the size of parts is often in the millimeter – range, its accurate detection can significantly reduce errors and improve production efficiency.

Wide Operating Voltage Range: Operating from 5V DC to 24V DC ±10%, it can adapt to different power sources in various industrial scenarios. This flexibility is a major advantage over many competing sensors that have a more restricted voltage range. Whether it’s a small – scale production line with a 5V power supply or a large – scale industrial plant using 24V, the Bedook sensor can operate without the need for complex voltage – conversion setups, saving both time and cost in installation and maintenance.

Low Current Consumption: Consuming less than 15mA, the sensor is highly energy-efficient. In large-scale industrial operations where numerous sensors are deployed, this low power consumption can lead to substantial energy savings over time. Moreover, lower power consumption also means less heat generation, which helps maintain the stability of the sensor and the overall system, reducing the risk of overheating-related failures and extending the lifespan of the equipment.

Dual Output Functions: The availability of Light-on ON and Light-shade ON output functions provides users with the flexibility to customize the sensor’s operation according to their specific application requirements. For instance, in a packaging line, the Light – shade ON function can be used to detect when a product passes through the sensor’s beam, while the Light-on ON function can be utilized for other types of detection tasks such as ensuring the proper alignment of components. This dual-function feature is not always present in competing products, giving the Bedook Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG15 – S 6mm DC4 Wire an edge in adaptability.

High-Quality Ingress Protection: Boasting an IP66 ingress protection rating, the sensor is dust-tight and can withstand powerful water jets. This makes it suitable for use in harsh environments, such as outdoor manufacturing facilities, factories with high dust levels, or areas prone to water splashes. In contrast, many similar sensors may have lower protection ratings, limiting their application in such demanding conditions. The Bedook sensor’s robust protection ensures reliable performance even in adverse environmental conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements or maintenance.

Excellent Repeatability and Response Time: With a repeatability accuracy of <0.01mm and a fast response time (light-on <20μs, light-shade <80μs) along with a maximum frequency of 3000Hz, the sensor provides consistent and rapid detection results. In applications that require high-speed and repetitive operations, such as in the production of high-volume consumer goods, this level of performance is crucial. It enables real-time monitoring and control, enhancing the overall productivity and quality of the production process.
