Allen Bradley 45LMS laser measurement sensors offer an excellent mid to long range measurement solution. Available in three ranges, these sensors use the Time of Flight (ToF) principle and has a relatively small beam spot, even from a distance of 50 m. IO-Link enabled sensors offer advanced features and diagnostics including Automatic Device Configuration, multiple profiles, trending, descriptive tags, and device-specific parameters

IO-Link communication

For accurate object and position detection in industrial operations, choose this photoelectric sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range. It works by sending out a beam of light that's blocked and reflected by a workpiece. The return signal is measured and sent to the equipment's actuators so it can react appropriately. The unit's ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) housing provides impact resistance and mechanical strength, so you can use it in harsh conditions. It's also energy-efficient, consuming just 70mA of electrical current. You'll find it commonly used with packaging machinery.

• Laser optical technology for a light beam that's easy to see, making alignment easier
• Wide detection range from 8mm to 200mm for versatility
• IO-Link technology enables self-diagnostics that make troubleshooting easier
• Wide operating temperature range of -30°C to +50°C for use in demanding conditions

• CE (Conformitè Europëenne)
• CSA (Canadian Standards Association)
• UL (Underwriters' Laboratory)

Mounting this connector is simple. It has a threaded end to screw onto its connector. It's important to mount it so its target is in its sensing range and also to teach it the appropriate set points.
