Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PMR10RG Retro-Reflective Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PMR10RG is a robust retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial automation and machine-control applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PM photoelectric sensor family, it combines a long sensing range with relay switching, making it suitable for machinery where a conventional electromechanical output is preferred.
Using the retro-reflective sensing principle, the PMR10RG contains both the optical transmitter and receiver in the sensor housing and operates with a suitable reflector positioned across the detection path. When an object interrupts the returned light beam, the sensor changes its output state, enabling reliable monitoring of products, packages and moving equipment.
The PMR10RG provides a sensing range of up to 10 m and features an SPDT change-over relay output, providing both normally open and normally closed contact functions. This versatile output arrangement simplifies integration with relays, contactors, PLC inputs and other industrial control equipment.

Reliable Retro-Reflective Detection for Industrial Machinery
Retro-reflective photoelectric sensors transmit light towards a reflector positioned on the opposite side of the sensing area and monitor the returning beam. An object passing between the sensor and reflector interrupts the optical path, allowing the control system to detect its presence without physical contact.
The Carlo Gavazzi PMR10RG combines this straightforward sensing arrangement with a 10 m detection range and SPDT relay output. The change-over contact makes the sensor particularly versatile for industrial control circuits requiring either normally open or normally closed signalling.
