PEPPERL+FUCHS ML5-GA-GL-KSU-2413 Thru-beam with Signal Transformer

The thru-beam with signal transformer, also known as a thru-beam sensor or optoelectronic sensor, model ML5-GA-GL-KSU-2413 from PEPPERL+FUCHS, is an electrical light sensor for reliable object detection and position sensing. The device has dimensions of 15 x 10 x 5 cm and weighs 0.1 kg. Thru-beam sensors consist of a transmitter and a receiver installed separately, which emit a signal when the light beam is interrupted. The integrated signal transformer converts the optical signal into a standardized electrical signal. They are typically used in industrial automation for the precise control of conveyor belts and level monitoring in containers. Further applications include packaging technology for verifying the presence of products and feeding technology for counting parts.
