Product description

The Allen Bradley 42KL-RTC-A2 is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for robust object detection with a reflector. It utilizes a polarized beam to reliably distinguish targets from the reflector, even in challenging environments. This sensor offers a sensing range of up to 10 meters and features an NPN output for seamless integration into automation systems.

This sensor is ideal for applications requiring accurate detection of objects on conveyor lines, in material handling systems, and for access control. The polarized beam is particularly effective at detecting shiny or reflective objects that might otherwise interfere with standard retro-reflective sensors.

Stanlo Automation, a veteran-owned surplus parts distributor, offers the Allen Bradley 42KL-RTC-A2, ensuring you receive a high-quality, tested component. We are dedicated to providing reliable and cost-effective solutions for your industrial automation needs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the advantage of the polarized beam in the Allen Bradley 42KL-RTC-A2?

The polarized beam in the 42KL-RTC-A2 helps to eliminate false detections caused by reflections from shiny surfaces or the reflector itself. This significantly improves reliability when detecting objects, especially those with similar reflectivity to the reflector.
