Description
The 45BPD analog output sensor is a Class 2 visible red laser sensor that provides sensing with both an analog and
discrete output. It is set up using the Teach-In buttons and LED indicators on the top of the sensor.
This sensor utilizes the triangulation principle for precise measurement and the visible red beam spot is useful for
alignment in small part detection and measurement applications. The sensor is completely self contained in an IP
67 enclosure and does not require any external control devices which add cost and require additional mounting
space.
The 45BPD can be easily set up by mounting the sensor such that the target is within the operating range of the
sensor and teaching in the appropriate set points required for the application. The sensor can be set with both a
discrete PNP output and a 4…20 mA analog output. The discrete output can be set for normally open (N.O.) or
normally closed (N.C.) operation and the analog output is automatically scaled between the taught set points with
either a positive or negative slope.
The 45BPD is an excellent solution for several noncontact measurement applications including: distance
measurement, part profiling, thickness measurement, error proofing, inspection, verifying material position, hole
depth, warpage, and positioning.
