Information About SLM10B6
The SLM10B6 is part of the Banner Engineering SLM Series, designed as an emitter/receiver fork-style sensor for accurate through-beam detection within a defined slot. It detects objects as small as 0.3 mm passing through the 10 mm opening. The sensor includes a single-turn potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment and a selector for light or dark operate configuration. Its IP67 and NEMA-rated metal housing supports installation in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features:
-
10 mm slot width: Fixed sensing gap for consistent object detection.
-
Minimum object detection 0.3 mm: Suitable for small part sensing.
-
Bipolar outputs: Provides both NPN and PNP discrete outputs.
-
10–30 VDC operation: Standard industrial DC power compatibility.
-
Fast response time: 0.5 ms switching speed.
-
Nickel-plated metal housing: Durable zinc die-cast construction.
-
IP67 protection: Sealed design for industrial environments.
The SLM10B6 delivers the reliability and precision required for industrial slot-type photoelectric sensing applications.
