Description

The AkuSense ELT-M2BN utilizes Time-of-Flight (TOF) technology to calculate distance by measuring the round-trip time of a reflected laser pulse. This method provides high-speed, consistent measurements independent of object color or surface reflectivity, making it suitable for dynamic industrial environments. The sensor’s integrated Class 2 laser diode operates at a 650nm wavelength, offering a focused beam for accurate targeting.

Housed in a robust, compact square enclosure with an IP54 rating, the ELT-M2BN is designed to withstand dust and water splashes common in automation settings. Its wide 9-30V DC input range ensures compatibility with standard industrial power supplies, while the configurable NPN output allows for easy integration into control logic for object detection, positioning, and collision avoidance systems.

Key Features

  • High-precision TOF measurement principle for reliable, color-independent detection.
  • Compact, square form factor (34.5mm x 26.2mm) for space-constrained installations.
  • Fast 1ms response time enables high-speed process control and robotics feedback.
  • User-adjustable sensitivity via a potentiometer for fine-tuning detection thresholds.
  • Robust IP54 protection rating ensures reliable operation in dusty or damp industrial environments.
  • Wide 9-30V DC operating voltage simplifies integration with 12V or 24V industrial control panels.
  • Configurable NPN output (Normally Open/Normally Closed) provides flexible switching logic.

Applications

  • Robotics and AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) obstacle detection and collision avoidance.
  • Industrial automation for precise object positioning on conveyor belts or assembly lines.
  • Material handling systems for bin level detection and pallet presence sensing.
  • Packaging machinery for product counting and height verification.
  • Access control and safety systems for personnel detection in hazardous zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the AkuSense ELT-M2BN sensor?

The ELT-M2BN operates on a wide 9 to 30 Volts DC supply. This range makes it directly compatible with standard 12V and 24V industrial control systems without requiring an additional voltage regulator.

How do I configure the NPN output (NO/NC) on this sensor?

The sensor's output logic is typically configured via internal DIP switches or wiring to specific terminals as outlined in the datasheet. You can select between Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) operation to match your PLC or controller's input logic requirements.

What does a Class 2 laser rating mean for safety?

A Class 2 laser is considered safe for incidental viewing, as the human blink reflex provides adequate protection. However, you should never stare directly into the beam. This rating allows for safe use in industrial environments without requiring extensive laser safety enclosures.

Can this sensor detect transparent or dark-colored objects?

Yes, as a Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor, the ELT-M2BN measures distance based on the time for a laser pulse to return, making its performance largely independent of an object's color or surface reflectivity compared to traditional photoelectric sensors.
