Product Features (Bedook Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG35-S 6mm DC4 Wire)

Introducing the Bedook Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG35-S 6mm DC4 Wire, a high-performance sensor that combines advanced technology with a user-friendly design. With a fixed 6mm sensing distance, it offers a balanced approach to detecting small objects while being adaptable to different installation setups. The sensor’s ability to operate within a wide voltage range and consume minimal current makes it an ideal choice for applications where energy efficiency and power flexibility are crucial. Bedook’s commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of this product, from its robust construction materials to its compliance with international directives.

1. Precise Sensing Distance: The Bedook Fork Photoelectric Sensor FG35-S 6mm DC4 Wire features a fixed 6mm sensing distance. This precise measurement allows for accurate detection of objects as small as 0.8mm×1.2mm. Compared to some competing sensors with variable or less-defined sensing distances, this fixed value ensures consistent and reliable performance, making it ideal for applications that demand high precision, such as micro-component assembly in the electronics industry.
2. Wide Operating Voltage Range: Operating from 5V DC to 24V DC ±10%, it can adapt to a variety of power sources. This wide range gives it an edge over many similar sensors that are limited to a narrower voltage band. Whether in a small – scale automation project with a 5V power supply or a large – scale industrial plant using 24V, this sensor can function without the need for complex voltage – conversion mechanisms, saving both time and resources during installation and operation.
3. Low Current Consumption: Consuming less than 15mA, the sensor is highly energy-efficient. In large-scale industrial deployments where multiple sensors are in use, this low power draw can result in significant energy savings over time. Additionally, reduced current consumption means less heat generation, which helps maintain the stability of the sensor and the overall system, minimizing the risk of overheating-related failures and extending the equipment’s lifespan.
4. Dual Output Functions: Offering Light-on ON and Light-shade ON output functions, the sensor provides users with the flexibility to customize its operation according to specific application requirements. In a packaging line, for example, 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 detection tasks like ensuring the proper alignment of components. This dual functionality is not always available in competing products, enhancing the adaptability of the Bedook sensor.
5. High-Grade Ingress Protection: With 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. Many competing sensors have lower protection ratings, limiting their usability in such demanding conditions. The Bedook sensor’s robust protection ensures reliable operation even in adverse environmental conditions, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
6. Fast Response and High Repeatability: The sensor boasts a quick response time, with light-on <20μs and light-shade <80μs, and a maximum frequency of 3000Hz. Coupled with a repeatability accuracy of <0.01mm, it provides consistent and rapid detection results. In high-speed production lines or applications that require repetitive and precise operations, such as in the automotive manufacturing industry, these features are essential for real-time monitoring and control, improving overall productivity and product quality.
