Balluff BOS0043 Diffuse Sensor 200mm Sensing Range

Balluff BOS0043 is a compact diffuse optical sensor designed for presence detection on conveyors, feeder lines, and automation cells. It delivers a 200 mm sensing range in a cylindrical BOS 12M housing and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, drawing about 200 mA during active sensing. As a diffuse (reflective) sensor, it detects objects by light reflected from the target back to the receiver, enabling reliable detection of reflectivity within the 1–200 mm range when targets present. The BOS0043 is cataloged as item #204261, aligning with Balluff’s diffuse-sensor family and the BOS 12M series. Applications include end-of-line part detection, packaging, and assembly-line presence checks where non-contact sensing is preferred and space is limited. When installing, verify that the target’s surface provides sufficient reflectivity and keep within the 200 mm range to minimize false readings in bright environments. The 10–30 V DC input allows straightforward integration with standard industrial controllers, and the compact cylindrical form factor supports tight mounting spaces on machinery and automation lines.
