To the point

The optical, high-precision laser diffuse reflection sensors PT330570 and PT330070 from ipf electronic are characterized by their compact design and versatile application possibilities. Both models belong to the latest generation of laser sensors from ipf electronic and are ideal for the contactless detection of objects in industrial automation processes.

The sensors work according to the principle of optical triangulation. The maximum sensing range is 250mm. Both models have a push-pull switching output that can operate as both normally closed (nc) and normally open (nc). The PT330070 also offers an analog output (0-10V). The laser diode works with a wavelength of 656nm, whereby laser class 1 ensures that there is no health risk to the eyes.

The operation of the sensors is particularly simple: the setting is made via a tamper proof teach-in function. With a ferromagnetic tool or via the white core of the M8 plug connection (optional with the PT330570), the switching range is "taught in" directly on the device. With the PT330070 the measuring range of the analog output can also be adapted to the conditions. Three LEDs support this as a clear status display, as they show at a glance whether the sensor is in operation (green), whether teaching is possible (blue) and whether an object is reliably detected (yellow). Both devices also offer the option of making these and other settings via IO-Link, which simplifies integration into modern control systems.

Thanks to their compact dimensions, the sensors (degree of protection IP67) can even be used in confined spaces and are suitable for ambient temperatures from -10°C to +60°C (PT330570) or -25°C to +60°C (PT330070). The standardized M8 plug connection facilitates integration into existing systems, while the optional mounting accessories support flexible alignment.

In practice, the sensors show their true strengths in numerous applications, e.g. for positioning workpieces, monitoring filling levels or safety checks in automated systems. Background suppression enables high-precision detection and prevents interfering influences from the background. The mutual interference of several sensors installed close to each other is also suppressed.

In a nutshell: PT330570 and PT330070 are modern, reliable and easy-to-operate laser diffuse reflection sensors that combine maximum precision and flexibility. They are ideal for industrial automation applications and impress with their robust design and simple start-up.
