BJR Series - Oil-Resistant/Oil-Proof Photoelectric Sensors

BJR Series Oil-Resistant/Oil-Proof Photoelectric Sensors

The BJR series oil-resistant/oil-proof photoelectric sensors are optimized for use in various environments with cutting oil and lubricants such as automotive and machine tool industries. The sensors are capable of long distance detection up to 15 m (through-beam type). Various features including MSR (Mirror Surface Rejection) function and mutual interference prevention functions allow stable and error-free operation. The screw mounting hole is made of metallic nuts, allowing easy installation using M3 bolts and offering easy maintenance even when exposed to various oils.

Various Connection Types Available

The BJR series is available in connector type, cable type, and cable connector types, allowing easy application in various user environments.

Oil-resistant type models are available in cable type and cable connector types only.

Long Sensing Distance Up to 15 m

Through-beam type models feature long sensing distances up to 15 m.

Sensing distance: retroreflective type 3 m / diffuse reflective type: 1 m

M.S.R (Mirror Surface Rejection) Function (Retroreflective Type)

The retroreflective type models feature MSR (Mirror Surface Rejection) function which allow the units to only receive light from specific mirrors (MS-2S). This function allows stable detection of highly reflective targets including metals, mirrors, etc.

The Working Principle of Mirror Surface Rejection (MSR) Function

The light passed through the polarizing filter on the emitter will become horizontal. The light reflected on the retroreflective mirror will turn 90˚ and the vertical light will be received by receiver through vertical polarizing filter.

The light reflected from reflective targets will remain horizontal, and thus will not be received by the receiver with the vertical polarizing filter.

Mutual Interference Prevention Function (Except Through-Beam Types)

The emitter cycles can be configured so that the sensors will not be affected by other nearby sensors. This allows adjacent installation of multiple sensors.

Excellent Noise Immunity and Minimal Influence from Ambient Light

The sensors feature noise reduction algorithm and digital filters, offering excellent noise immunity and minimal influence from ambient light.

IP67, IP67G, IP67F Protection Structure

IP67 protection structure allows the units to be safely applied in environments with dust or water. IP67G, IP67F protection structure allows stable and error-free operation even in oily environments.
