Baumer FPDM 16P5101/S13 Photoelectric sensor

The photoelectric sensor, also known as a photocell, optical sensor, or detector, with type number FPDM 16P5101/S13 from Baumer, is an electrical sensor for the non-contact detection of objects or states using light. It has the dimensions 4.5 x 1 x 5.5 cm and weighs 0.1 kg. As an electrical engineering component, photoelectric sensors convert optical signals into electrical ones and are used for presence detection, positioning, or color differentiation in industrial processes. Typical applications are found in industrial automation technology, for example in conveyor systems for material flow control or in packaging machines for counting and positioning products.
