Baumer FPDK 10P5130/S35A Retro-Reflective Sensor

The retro-reflective sensor, also known as a retroreflection sensor or reflex sensor, with type number FPDK 10P5130/S35A from Baumer, is an optical sensor from electrical engineering for non-contact object detection. The device has dimensions of 8 x 11 x 2 cm and weighs 0.01 kg. Retro-reflective sensors operate by emitting a light beam that hits a separate reflector and is sent back from it to the receiver. If this light beam is interrupted by an object, the sensor signals its presence. They are used to precisely monitor the presence, position, or quantity of objects in automated processes. Typical applications include workpiece detection and material flow control in conveyor technology or reliable product position monitoring in packaging machines.
