Technical Description
The expanded BOS 12M
family represents a radical
simplification in sensor
technology for the most
common applications. All
sensors – diffuse,
retroreflective or thru-beams
are designed in the same
housing as a typical inductive
proximity sensor (M12×1).
This means that Optical and
Inductive proximity
sensors are mechanically
and electrically
compatible!
As far as installation is
concerned, there is no
simpler concept for sensors
than a drilled hole. And that
is
all the sensors from the BOS
12M compact series require
for installation.
This simplifies the design of
system or machine, making
converting sensor types
easier, and reduces inventory
through multiple usage of
accessories. This in turn
means standardization
and simplification of your
sensor needs. The BOS 12M
series in their rugged metal
housing is fully potted and
provides IP 67 protection.
Available Models
Diffuse with fixed sensing
distances (100 mm and
200 mm) and manufactured
to tight tolerances, ideal for
rapid and uncomplicated
assembly. The use of a
red light also makes their
alignment easier. The diffuse
model with 400 mm range
is adjustable. This makes the
sensor more flexible and
universal.
Retroreflective sensors with
polarizing filter, adjustable
range (up to 1.5 m) and red
light.
Thru-beam sensors with
5 m range, red light and
adjustable sensitivity. The
output is complimentary,
allowing function monitoring
of the sensor system. The
additional output status
display in the sensor face
Applications
– Anywhere M18×1 is too
large
– With a simple M12 bore
hole for mounting,
the sensor can be used
wherever inductive
proximity switches are
in use
– General automation tasks
– Assembly and handling
– Machine building
– Packaging machinery
– Robots
– Machine tools
