Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MOFR-M12-5-XM Photoelectric Receiver?
The Carlo Gavazzi MOFR-M12-5-XM is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable object and presence detection in industrial automation applications. Its M12 stainless-steel cylindrical housing provides a robust sensing head for machinery and equipment where compact dimensions and durable construction are important.
Designed as the receiving element of a separate transmitter-and-receiver photoelectric system, the MOFR-M12-5-XM is suitable for sensing distances up to 20 m when used with the corresponding transmitter and compatible control equipment. Through-beam operation provides dependable detection by monitoring whether an object interrupts the optical path between the transmitter and receiver.
The sensor features a narrow 5° optical angle, helping provide a defined optical path in long-range detection applications. Its cable-connected construction supports straightforward integration into industrial machinery, while the M12 stainless-steel format is particularly useful where installation space is restricted.

Reliable Long-Range Through-Beam Photoelectric Detection
Through-beam photoelectric systems use separate transmitter and receiver heads mounted opposite one another. The transmitter directs an optical beam towards the MOFR-M12-5-XM receiver, which continuously monitors the beam. When an object interrupts the optical path, the receiving system detects the change so that compatible control equipment can respond.
This sensing principle is particularly effective where reliable detection over longer distances is required. With its 20 m system range, narrow 5° optical angle and compact M12 stainless-steel construction, the Carlo Gavazzi MOFR-M12-5-XM provides a practical receiver solution for conveyors, production machinery and automated material handling equipment.
