Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EO1804NPAS Photoelectric Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi EO1804NPAS is a robust M18 diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial machinery, conveyors and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EO1804 series, it combines a durable nickel-plated brass threaded housing with complementary NPN normally open and normally closed outputs for flexible integration into DC control circuits.

The EO1804NPAS provides an adjustable sensing range of 0–400 mm using modulated infrared light at 880 nm. Its diffuse-reflective sensing principle detects light reflected directly from the target, eliminating the need for a separate reflector or receiver and simplifying installation in machinery and production equipment.

Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the EO1804NPAS supports light-on and dark-on switching, a maximum switching frequency of 120 Hz and load currents below 200 mA. Its 2 m cable, yellow LED output indication and IP67 protection make it well suited to demanding factory automation, packaging and material handling applications.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable diffuse-reflective object detection up to 400 mm.
  • Adjustable sensing range supports accurate setup for different targets.
  • Complementary NPN NO + NC outputs provide flexible switching options.
  • Durable M18 nickel-plated brass housing for industrial environments.
  • 2 m cable connection supports straightforward machine wiring.
  • IP67 protection provides resistance to industrial dust and moisture.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi EO1804 diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor.
  • 0–400 mm adjustable sensing range.
  • Infrared modulated light at 880 nm.
  • NPN complementary NO + NC outputs.
  • Light-on / dark-on switching.
  • 10–40 V DC rated power supply.
  • Load current below 200 mA.
  • Maximum 120 Hz operating frequency.
  • M18 cylindrical threaded metal housing.
  • Yellow LED output indication.
  • 2 m cable connection.
  • IP67 degree of protection.

Reliable Diffuse-Reflective Detection for Industrial Automation

Diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensors transmit light towards a target and detect the light reflected directly back from the object. This enables non-contact detection without the separate reflector required by retro-reflective systems, making installation simple and flexible across a wide range of automated machinery.

The Carlo Gavazzi EO1804NPAS combines an adjustable 400 mm sensing range with a robust M18 metal housing, complementary NPN outputs and a 2 m cable. These characteristics make it a practical choice for machine builders and automation engineers requiring dependable object detection in production, conveying and material handling equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Conveyor object detection and counting.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Material handling and transfer systems.
  • Industrial component presence detection.
  • Automated assembly equipment.
  • Factory automation and machine control systems.
