The Pepperl+Fuchs MLV12-8-H-250-RT/47/65b/124 is a high-performance background suppression photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection. Part of the robust MLV12 series, this sensor uses red light technology to detect objects within a specific range while effectively ignoring any background objects beyond the set sensing distance. Its compact design and high-frequency switching make it a reliable choice for demanding industrial automation environments where space is limited and accuracy is critical.

Technical Specifications

The sensor operates on a working voltage of 10 to 30 V DC with a sensing range of 20 to 250 mm. The adjustment of the detection range is handled via a mechanical multiturn potentiometer, providing fine control over the cutoff point. The light source is a visible red LED with a light spot diameter of approximately 8 mm at a distance of 250 mm. For output, it features two PNP complementary outputs (one normally open and one normally closed) with a maximum load current of 100 mA. The switching frequency is rated at 1000 Hz, allowing for rapid response times of 0.5 ms. Electrical connection is established through an M12 x 1, 5-pin metal connector. The housing is constructed from robust die-cast zinc and carries an IP67 protection rating, ensuring durability against dust and water immersion.

Product Advantages

One of the primary advantages of this sensor is its superior background suppression capability, which ensures that target objects are detected regardless of their color, texture, or the complexity of the background. The visible red light beam simplifies the alignment process during installation. Its metal housing provides exceptional mechanical stability and resistance to electromagnetic interference compared to plastic alternatives. Additionally, the high switching frequency allows it to be used in high-speed production lines without missing targets. The complementary outputs provide flexibility for various control logic requirements, and the multiturn potentiometer allows for highly precise distance settings.

Important Precautions

When installing the MLV12-8-H-250-RT/47/65b/124, it is vital to ensure that the optical face is kept clean, as heavy dust or oil buildup can interfere with the infrared beam and reduce sensing accuracy. While the IP67 rating protects against moisture, the sensor should not be subjected to high-pressure water jets for extended periods. Users must verify that the power supply stays within the 10 to 30 V DC range to avoid damaging the internal electronics. It is also important to note that very shiny or mirror-like backgrounds should be angled slightly away from the sensor to prevent false reflections from bypassing the background suppression logic. Always ensure the M12 connector is fully tightened to maintain the environmental seal.

Target Applications

This sensor is widely utilized in the packaging industry for detecting boxes or containers on conveyors where the metal frame of the conveyor might otherwise cause interference. It is also ideal for the automotive industry, specifically for part presence detection in assembly cells where different colored components must be recognized consistently. In the logistics and material handling sector, it is used for small part detection and position sensing. Due to its precise cutoff range, it is also suitable for applications in the pharmaceutical and electronics industries, where it can detect small, delicate components against varying backgrounds without requiring constant recalibration for different target colors.
