Banner Engineering SM312CV Convergent Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering SM312CV Mini-Beam convergent photoelectric sensor delivers precise 16 mm focal-point detection in a compact package, using a visible red 650 nm beam to detect small parts and fast-moving targets. It operates on a DC supply of 10–30 V and provides bipolar outputs (1 NPN and 1 PNP) via a four-wire connection for easy interfacing in control circuits. The standard model ships with a 2 m (6.5 ft) cable and carries an IP67 rating (NEMA 4X) for rugged industrial environments, enabling reliable operation in wet or dusty settings. With a convergent sensing beam and 16 mm focal point, it excels at detecting small or high-contrast targets on conveyors or in tight spaces, making it a versatile choice for packaging lines and general proximity sensing on factory automation equipment.
