Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD30CND10NASA Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PD30CND10NASA is a compact and reliable diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for object detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD30 photoelectric sensor series, it combines a long sensing range with visible red modulated light, complementary NPN switching outputs and a compact rectangular housing for straightforward integration into space-constrained equipment.
This sensor provides an adjustable sensing range of up to 1,000 mm and uses 625 nm polarity-free red modulated light. The diffuse-reflective operating principle detects light reflected directly from the target, eliminating the need for a separate reflector or receiver. Adjustable sensitivity allows the sensing performance to be configured for different targets and operating conditions.
With a 10–30 V DC supply, NPN normally open and normally closed outputs and an integrated 2 m cable, the PD30CND10NASA provides flexible integration with PLCs and industrial control systems. Its compact approximately 10 × 30 × 20 mm ABS housing, 1,000 Hz switching frequency and IP67 protection rating make it suitable for demanding production and machine automation environments.

Reliable Diffuse-Reflective Detection for Industrial Automation
Diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensors transmit light towards a target and detect the light reflected directly from the object. This allows the sensor to provide non-contact object detection without requiring a separate reflector or receiver, making installation straightforward in machinery where access to only one side of the detection point is available.
The PD30 series is designed for compact industrial machinery and automation installations where reliable object detection and flexible control integration are required. The PD30CND10NASA combines an adjustable 1,000 mm sensing range with visible red light, complementary NPN outputs, fast switching and an integrated cable, making it well suited to conveyors, packaging machinery, assembly systems and automated handling equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Object presence and position detection.
- Product counting on automated production lines.
- Automated assembly and handling equipment.
- Component and package detection in manufacturing systems.
