BAM00UM, BALLUFF, reflector for retro-reflective photoelectric sensors, reflector, BOS R-12

BAM00UM, BALLUFF – reflector for retro-reflective photoelectric sensors. Suitable for monitoring the passage of boxes, pallets and other objects on production and logistics lines.

For correct selection, the exact model is decisive BAM00UM. Compare the sensing principle, range, output, supply and connection with the requirements of the specific application.

How the sensor works and where it is used

Principle: detection of an object between the sensor and the reflector. Typical use includes monitoring the passage of boxes, pallets and other objects on production and logistics lines.

Technical specifications

Wiring and integration into the control system

Wire according to the technical data of the specific variant given in the e-shop or in the manufacturer's documentation. Before connecting, verify the supply voltage, output type and cable or connector design. Before connecting, verify that the supply range, output type and input logic of the PLC or control system match.

Application example – object passing between the sensor and the reflector

The product can be used for monitoring the passage of boxes, pallets and other objects on production and logistics lines. The application principle is based on detecting an object between the sensor and the reflector. When designing, take into account the sensing distance, size and surface of the target, ambient lighting, mounting space and the required output logic.

How to choose the right variant

• Sensing principle: choose a diffuse, retro-reflective, through-beam, BGS, fork or fibre solution according to the application.
• Range: leave a reserve relative to the actual working distance and target properties.
• Output: verify PNP/NPN and NO/NC compatibility with the PLC digital input.
• Connection: check the cable, M8/M12 connector, number of pins and mounting space.
