Baumer FHDS 15 P5002 Optical Sensor

The optical sensor, also known as light sensor or photocell, with the type number FHDS 15 P5002 from Baumer is an electrical optical sensor for detecting objects or conditions using light. It has the dimensions 7 x 5 x 2 cm and weighs 0.07 kg. Optical sensors use light beams to detect the presence, position, or characteristics of objects without contact. They convert optical signals into electrical ones, enabling precise control and monitoring in automated processes. Typical applications are found in industrial automation for object detection on conveyor belts, for positioning components, and for quality control. They are also frequently used in packaging machines and robotics for the precise control of movements.
