            B5W-LB Light Convergent Reflective Sensor
                    Omron’s B5W-LB series offers reliable detection of shiny, black, or transparent objects
    

Omron’s B5W-LB series of light convergent reflective type sensors are unaffected by backgrounds, meaning the intended object is sensed accurately. Before, sensing shiny, black, or transparent objects could be unstable or unreliable, requiring more person-hours for development and production processes. However, Omron’s light convergent reflective sensors offer reliable detection of shiny, black, or transparent objects, reducing person-hours. A wide sensing range allows for object shifting, giving the B5W-LB series robustness of distance.

The B5W-LB series are also suitable for embedding in commercial equipment. Analog voltage and digital output models are available with the digital output types offering an IP50 rating for environmental resistance, including resistance to heavy dust. The B5W-LB series connect easily, and an ON/OFF output enables direct connections to control equipment such as PLCs.

The B5W-LB series offers models including an indicator lamp that indicates a detected object and 12 V_DC supply voltage.
