Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MOFR-M12-5-20M Photoelectric Receiver?
The Carlo Gavazzi MOFR-M12-5-20M is a cylindrical through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable object and presence detection in industrial automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MOFR photoelectric sensor range, it is intended to work as the receiving element of a separate transmitter and receiver arrangement for dependable detection across conveyors, doors and automated machinery.
The MOFR-M12-5-20M features a robust M12 stainless-steel cylindrical housing and a narrow 5° optical angle, helping provide accurate beam alignment and reliable sensing. When paired with the corresponding Carlo Gavazzi MOFT20 transmitter, the through-beam system provides a sensing range of up to 20 m, making it suitable for both short and long-distance industrial detection applications.
This receiver uses 880 nm infrared light and incorporates an NPN open-collector switching output. The 20 m integral cable provides considerable installation flexibility, while IP66 / IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -20 to +60 °C support dependable service in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Long-Range Photoelectric Detection
Through-beam photoelectric systems use a transmitter and receiver positioned opposite one another. The transmitter projects an infrared beam towards the MOFR-M12-5-20M receiver, and an object passing between the two interrupts the beam, allowing the receiver to provide a switching signal to the associated control system.
This sensing principle provides dependable detection over considerably greater distances than many single-housing photoelectric arrangements. The combination of a narrow optical angle, stainless-steel M12 housing and long integral cable makes the MOFR-M12-5-20M particularly useful for conveyors, automated doors, material handling equipment and industrial machinery where robust remote sensing is required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyor object detection.
- Automated and high-speed door systems.
- Material handling and logistics equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Presence and position detection on manufacturing lines.
- Long-range through-beam industrial sensing systems.
