Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MOFT20-M12-2 Photoelectric Transmitter?
The Carlo Gavazzi MOFT20-M12-2 is a robust through-beam photoelectric transmitter for a separate amplifier designed for reliable long-range object detection in industrial automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MOF photoelectric sensor family, it provides the transmitting element of a separate emitter and receiver arrangement used on machinery, conveyors and automated equipment.
The MOFT20-M12-2 combines a compact M12 threaded cylindrical housing with stainless-steel and polycarbonate construction. Its modulated 880 nm infrared light and narrow maximum optical angle of ±2° provide a focused beam for dependable transmitter-to-receiver alignment.
When used with the corresponding receiver and compatible amplifier, the MOFT20-M12-2 supports a nominal sensing distance of 20 m. Its integral cable connection, IP66 / IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -20 to +60 °C make it well suited to demanding industrial sensing installations.

Reliable Long-Range Photoelectric Detection
Through-beam photoelectric sensing places a dedicated transmitter and receiver opposite one another. The MOFT20-M12-2 emits a modulated infrared beam towards the compatible receiver, allowing the associated amplifier to detect when an object interrupts the optical path.
This separate transmitter and receiver arrangement provides reliable detection over substantial distances and is well suited to industrial applications where accurate presence sensing is required. The focused ±2° beam, M12 threaded construction and high degree of environmental protection make the MOFT20-M12-2 practical for integration into conveyors, production machinery and material handling systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyor object detection.
- Material handling and logistics equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Production line presence monitoring.
- Automated machinery and machine-building applications.
- Long-range through-beam photoelectric sensing systems.
