Baumer O330.RP-PDPVZ.72OV/0030_H006 Retro-Reflective Photoelectric Sensor, Miniature

Baumer O330.RP-PDPVZ.72OV/0030 H006 Retro-Reflective Photoelectric Sensor

The Baumer O330.RP-PDPVZ.72OV/0030 H006 is a miniature retro-reflective photoelectric sensor from the O330 series. Retro-reflective sensors emit a light beam that bounces off a dedicated reflector back to the receiver; when an object breaks the beam, the sensor switches output. The compact O330 housing fits into tight machine guards, packaging lines, and conveyor edges where larger photoelectric sensors won't physically install. The "_H006" suffix indicates this is a customer-specific configuration; confirm orderability and lead time with our team before specifying for production builds.

Key Specifications

Typical Applications

• Object presence detection on narrow conveyor edges
• Bottle, can, or carton counting in packaging lines
• Light-curtain-style beam break in tight-clearance machine guards
• End-of-line or pick-confirmation in compact assembly cells

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "_H006" suffix mean on this part number?

Baumer applies customer-specific suffixes like _H006 to indicate a configuration built to a particular customer specification rather than a standard catalog item. Call Automation Distribution to confirm availability and lead time before specifying.

What is the difference between retro-reflective and diffuse photoelectric sensors?

Retro-reflective sensors use a separate reflector mounted opposite the sensor; the emitter and receiver are both in the sensor body, and the target object breaks the beam. Diffuse sensors detect light reflected off the target itself, which is faster to install but less reliable on dark or low-reflectance objects.

What reflector does the O330 retro-reflective sensor require?

O330 retro-reflective sensors work with Baumer-compatible reflectors sized to the working distance. Our team can recommend a reflector match for your range and mounting constraints.
