About Sunx Photoelectric Sensors
Sunx RX-LS200 & EX-40 Series Photoelectric Sensors
RX-LS200 Series - Diffuse Sensors
Background suppression sensor with robust, die-cast enclosure
- Background suppression
- IR light source
- Die-cast housing
The RX-LS200 series of photoelectric sensors provides a background suppression solution for accurate detection of various targets. The sensor is not affected by dust, color, or background due to the PSD with mechanical lens. The die-cast, zinc alloy, IP67 body provides robust protection against external factors and an optional protective tubing sleeve provides protection for the wiring.

EX-40 Series Photoelectric Sensors
Convergent reflective sensor for reliable object detection in a limited area
Reliable object detection in limited area. Due to convergent distance sensing, the color or material of the object has almost no effect. Further, the background also has very little effect, enabling stable sensing. The spot-beam type EX-43T is incorporated with an OFF-delay timer. The variable OFF-delay timer is useful for detecting a printed circuit board regardless of small holes, cutouts or electronic parts on it.

High-Precision Sensing for Demanding ApplicationsSunx Photoelectric Sensors are engineered for accuracy and reliability across a range of industrial environments. With an adjustable measurement range from 10 mm up to 10,000 mm, and ultra-fine resolution up to 0.1 mm, these sensors excel in detecting small or distant objects. Their rapid response rate (<1 ms) makes them ideal for fast-moving automation processes where precision is crucial.
Flexible Installation and ConnectivityDesigned with user convenience in mind, Sunx sensors come in cable type and connector type variants, allowing for seamless integration into existing systems. The compact enclosure and panel or bracket mounting options ensure they fit even in confined spaces. The standard 2m cable length and multiple interface options (3-wire/4-wire) enhance installation flexibility.
Built for Reliability and Harsh ConditionsConstructed from reinforced plastic, ABS plastic, or metal, and featuring IP67 protection, Sunx Photoelectric Sensors withstand dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. The operating temperature range of -25C to +55C and non-condensing humidity tolerance (35-85% RH) ensure stable performance in diverse settings. Built-in reverse polarity protection further enhances durability.
