Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MOFT50 Photoelectric Transmitter?
The Carlo Gavazzi MOFT50 is a compact through-beam photoelectric transmitter designed for reliable non-contact object detection as part of a separate-amplifier industrial sensing system. The transmitter generates the optical beam used by a compatible Carlo Gavazzi receiver, providing dependable detection for machinery, conveyors and automated production equipment.
Designed for the Carlo Gavazzi MOF photoelectric sensor family, the MOFT50 uses modulated infrared light to create a stable through-beam sensing path. When paired with the appropriate receiver and amplifier, an object passing between the transmitter and receiver interrupts the beam, allowing the control system to detect its presence without mechanical contact.
The MOFT50 features a compact 10 mm plastic sensing head suited to applications where installation space is restricted. Its separate-amplifier architecture allows the sensor head to remain small while the associated amplifier provides the electrical processing and switching functions required by the automation system.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Machinery
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses separate transmitter and receiver heads positioned on opposite sides of the detection area. The MOFT50 generates the optical beam while the corresponding receiver monitors that beam. When a product, component or other object passes between them, the interruption can be processed by the associated amplifier to provide a switching signal to the machine control system.
Separating the sensing heads from the amplifier enables compact installation at the detection point while the signal-processing electronics can be positioned elsewhere within the machine. This makes the MOFT50 particularly useful for automated equipment where space around the sensing location is limited but reliable non-contact detection is required.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor product and object detection.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Industrial product counting systems.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Material handling and sorting machinery.
