With the R202 series, Pepperl+Fuchs offers a new portfolio of photoelectric sensors in cubic design. The sensors with a red light LED and a simple switching function with two switching outputs are focused on basic functions. This leads not only to particular cost efficiency, but also to simple product selection. Five function principles are available in a standardized housing design: Thru-beam sensor, retroreflective sensor, retroreflective sensor for clear-object detection, diffuse mode sensor, and diffuse mode sensor with background suppression. The variant for clear-object detection as well as simple and robust mounting make the series the first choice for material handling applications.
Designed for Material Handling
The R202 series was developed with the special requirements of the material handling industry in mind. In pallet conveyor technology, for example, foil-wrapped pallets often have to be detected. With their reflective surfaces, they represent a challenge for the sensor technology used. The retroreflective sensor for clear-object detection was designed for such demanding tasks: It operates without dead band and is optimized for detecting shiny, reflective objects.
In addition, the sensors of the R202 series have integrated solid metal bushings. With their high mechanical stability, they allow higher tightening torques compared to direct mounting on the plastic housing. This ensures reliable and stable mounting over the long term—for robust use in material handling applications.
Highlights of the R202 Series
• Optimized series for easy product selection: Essential functions in a cost-effective design
• Reliable detection of foil-wrapped objects with variant for clear-object detection
• Robust use in warehouse and conveyor technology through integrated metal bushings
• Standard design with numerous holes for mounting flexibility
• Space-saving AC variants for applications where AC voltage is required
