Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD30CTD02PAWE Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PD30CTD02PAWE is a compact and reliable diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for accurate object detection in industrial automation, machinery and control applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD30 series, it combines a wide-angle infrared sensing system, adjustable sensitivity and complementary PNP switching outputs in a miniature rectangular housing.
The PD30CTD02PAWE uses modulated infrared light at 850 nm to detect objects directly from reflected light, eliminating the need for a separate reflector. Its wide-angle optical design makes it suitable for applications where target positioning may vary, while the top-mounted trimmer allows simple sensitivity adjustment during installation and commissioning.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the PD30CTD02PAWE provides PNP complementary NO+NC outputs, light/dark switching capability and a 2 m integral cable. Its compact reinforced plastic housing and IP67 protection make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
