Keyence PX Series Photoelectric Sensor Head

 

Model: PX-H72 (Receiver)


 

1. General Description

 

The Keyence PX-H72 is a heavy-duty, heat-resistant photoelectric sensor head designed for use in harsh industrial environments. It functions as the receiver in a thrubeam sensor pair, working in conjunction with a corresponding transmitter (PX-H71) and a separate amplifier unit.

Its robust stainless steel construction and high IP rating make it exceptionally durable and resistant to heat, water, oil, and physical impact. This sensor head is ideal for reliable presence/absence detection in applications like foundries, automotive manufacturing, and food processing lines where standard sensors would fail.

 

Key Features 🎯

 

  • High Heat Resistance: Designed to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to +120°C.
  • Superior Durability: Features a rugged stainless steel (SUS303) housing for maximum protection.
  • IP67 Enclosure Rating: Fully protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water.
  • Long-Range Detection: Achieves a long sensing distance when paired with a PX series amplifier.
  • Thrubeam System: Provides highly reliable detection that is unaffected by the target’s color, surface finish, or background.
