Why Choose the IMO BX80A/1P-0H Area Sensor?

The IMO BX80A/1P-0H is a high-resolution photo-electric area sensor receiver designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation, machinery and production environments. As part of the advanced IMO BX80 high resolution area sensor series, it provides accurate detection of small and irregularly shaped objects across a defined sensing area.

This receiver unit uses a 12-beam through-beam detection system with a controlled height of 70 mm and 6 mm beam pitch, allowing precise monitoring of objects passing through automated processes. The compact housing and M12 connection design simplify installation and integration into industrial control systems.

With a sensing range of up to 2 m, PNP NO/NC selectable output and a 12–24 V DC operating supply, the IMO BX80A/1P-0H is suitable for machine builders and automation engineers requiring dependable high-resolution object detection.

Key Advantages

  • High-resolution photo-electric area sensing for industrial automation applications.
  • 12-beam detection system for accurate object monitoring.
  • Up to 2 m sensing distance for flexible machine installation.
  • PNP normally open/normally closed selectable output for versatile control integration.
  • IP67 protection rating for industrial environments.
  • Compact cubic housing with M12 connection for simple installation.

Key Features

  • IMO BX80 high resolution area sensor series.
  • Receiver unit for through-beam detection systems.
  • 12 optical beams with 6 mm pitch.
