Documented Sensor Model

AESD18400SPO

M18 Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor, 400 mm

General-purpose threaded M18 diffuse sensor for industrial object detection.

Overview

AESD18400SPO is a threaded M18 diffuse-reflection sensor intended for routine object-presence tasks. Its adjustable sensing range and detachable M12 connection suit production equipment where setup and replacement access matter.

Target size, surface finish, and reflectivity should be validated in the intended mounting position.
