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

The IMO BX80A/1P-1H is a high-resolution photo-electric area sensor receiver designed for accurate object detection in industrial automation, machinery and production environments. As part of the advanced IMO BX80 high resolution area sensor series, it provides reliable 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 aluminium enclosure provides a robust solution for demanding industrial applications while the M12 connection simplifies installation.

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-1H 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 aluminium enclosure for demanding industrial environments.
  • Compact M12 connection for straightforward installation.

Key Features
