Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PMP6RGT Retro-Reflective Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PMP6RGT is a robust polarised retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with integrated timer function designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation, packaging and machine control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi PMP photoelectric sensor series, it provides accurate long-range sensing with relay switching flexibility and adjustable timing functions.
The PMP6RGT uses modulated visible red polarised light and operates with a suitable reflector to provide a sensing range of up to 6 m. Its polarised optical system improves detection reliability when working with reflective surfaces, while the selectable output function allows the sensor to be configured for light or dark switching applications.
Featuring a SPDT relay output with NO and NC contacts, a wide 12–240 V DC / 24–240 V AC supply range and an integrated timer function with delay-on-operate, delay-on-release and one-shot modes, the PMP6RGT provides a versatile sensing solution for industrial control systems. Its reinforced PC/ABS housing and IP67 protection ensure dependable operation in demanding environments.

Reliable Retro-Reflective Detection for Industrial Automation
Retro-reflective photoelectric sensors combine the emitter and receiver in a single housing while using a reflector positioned opposite the sensor. The sensor transmits light towards the reflector and detects objects when the returned optical beam is interrupted. This arrangement provides reliable detection distances while requiring electrical connection on only one side of the application.
The Carlo Gavazzi PMP6RGT enhances this sensing principle with a relay output and integrated timer functions. Its adjustable timing modes, wide supply voltage range and rugged IP67 housing make it suitable for industrial machines, conveyor systems and automated production equipment where flexible switching behaviour is required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation machinery.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Conveyor object detection.
- Material handling systems.
