Why Choose the IMO BX10SR/0C-HB6XLS Area Sensor?

The IMO BX10SR/0C-HB6XLS is a compact photo-electric area sensor kit designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation, machinery and production environments. As part of the advanced IMO BX10 medium resolution area sensor series, it combines emitter and receiver technology to provide accurate detection across a defined sensing area.

This area sensor uses a 10-beam through-beam detection system with a controlled height of 90 mm and a 10 mm beam pitch, allowing reliable detection of objects with irregular shapes in automated processes. The sensor includes a matched emitter and receiver pair with M12 connections for straightforward industrial installation.

With a sensing range of 0.3–4 m, NPN + PNP normally closed output and a 10–26 V DC operating supply, the IMO BX10SR/0C-HB6XLS is suitable for machine builders and automation engineers requiring dependable object detection and flexible electrical integration.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable photo-electric area sensing for industrial automation applications.
  • 10-beam medium resolution detection for accurate object monitoring.
  • 0.3–4 m sensing distance for flexible machine installation.
  • NPN + PNP normally closed outputs for versatile control system integration.
  • IP67 protection rating for industrial environments.
  • Compact M12 connection design for simple installation.

Key Features

  • IMO BX10 medium resolution area sensor series.
  • Emitter and receiver kit supplied as a matched sensing pair.
  • 10 optical beams with 10 mm pitch.
