Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi PA18CLD02TOM6 is a diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for industrial object detection. Part of the PA18CL series, this M18-sized sensor operates on a wide AC voltage range of 20-250VAC, simplifying power integration across diverse industrial setups. It features a 2-wire configuration with a normally open (NO) output, ensuring compatibility with most control systems. The sensor uses modulated infrared light at 880nm to detect objects up to 200mm away, providing reliable presence or absence detection within its specified range. Connections are simplified with a standard M12 plug, eliminating the need for additional wiring harnesses. Housed in a durable nickel-plated brass or thermoplastic body with IP67 protection, the PA18CLD02TOM6 is suitable for harsh industrial environments. Its compact M18 threaded design allows for easy installation in tight spaces or on machinery. The sensor is ideal for applications such as packaging, material handling, and conveyor systems where precise object detection is critical.
