Product Features (Bedook Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG15-X 5mm DC4 Wire)

Introducing the Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG15-X 5mm DC4 Wire from Bedook. This small through-beam photoelectric sensor is a result of advanced technology and meticulous design. It is suitable for a wide range of applications where precise object detection is required. Whether it’s in a high – speed production line or a delicate assembly process, the FG15-X 5mm DC4 Wire sensor can deliver excellent performance. Its robust construction and reliable parameters make it a preferred choice for professionals in the industry.

Precise Detection: With a 5mm fixed detection distance, the Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG1 -X 5mm DC4 Wire can accurately identify opaque objects with dimensions as small as 0.8mm×1.2mm. This level of precision is crucial in applications such as micro-component assembly in the electronics industry, where even the slightest deviation can lead to product defects. Compared to some similar products with larger minimum detection object sizes, this sensor offers a significant advantage in handling small parts.

Wide Operating Voltage Range: Operating between 5V DC and 24V DC ±10%, it can adapt to different power supply systems in various industrial setups. This flexibility means that it can be used in both small – scale DIY projects and large – scale industrial automation systems without the need for complex voltage conversion. Many competing sensors have a more limited voltage range, making the Bedook FG15 – X 5mm DC4 Wire a more versatile option.

Low Current Consumption: Consuming less than 15mA, this sensor is highly energy – efficient. In large – scale industrial applications, where multiple sensors are often used, the low power consumption can lead to significant cost savings in electricity bills over time. Additionally, it generates less heat, which helps in maintaining the stability of the overall system and prolonging the lifespan of the sensor and related components.

Dual Output Functions: The sensor provides two output functions: Light-on ON and Light-shade ON. This allows users to choose the most suitable operation mode according to their specific application requirements. For example, in a packaging line, the Lightshade ON function can be used to detect when a product passes through the sensor, while the Light-on ON function can be used for other types of detection tasks. This flexibility is not always available in all competing products, giving the Bedook sensor an edge.

High Repeatability Accuracy: Boasting a repeatability accuracy of less than 0.01mm, the Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG15-X 5mm DC4 Wire ensures consistent and reliable detection results. In applications that require repetitive and precise operations, such as in the manufacturing of precision machinery parts, this high level of accuracy is essential. It reduces the chances of false – positives or false – negatives, improving the overall quality and efficiency of the production process.

Decent Ingress Protection and Temperature Tolerance: With an IP40 ingress protection rating, the sensor is protected against solid objects such as dust. It can operate in an ambient temperature range of – 25℃ to + 55℃ and be stored in a range of – 30℃ to + 80℃. This makes it suitable for use in various environments, including those with moderate levels of dust and temperature fluctuations. Some competing sensors may have lower protection ratings or more limited temperature ranges, making the Bedook sensor more adaptable.
