Description
Optex: FA BGS-Z Series is a compact photoelectric sensor with background-suppression technology for stable object detection regardless of color or gloss. It offers adjustable sensing up to about 300 mm, fast 250–500 µs response, low power use (≈30 mA at 10–30 V DC), and selectable NPN/PNP outputs. Its IP67 (or IP69K stainless) housing makes it durable for harsh industrial environments.
