Overview
The Opcon 1455A-6501 is a photoelectric sensor from Eaton Cutler Hammer’s established automation product line. This 55 series reflex sensor is designed for reliable object detection across a range of industrial applications, from material handling and packaging to process control and machine automation. Reflex (also called retro-reflective) detection allows the sensor to operate without requiring separate separate emitter and receiver units, reducing installation complexity.
Key Features
- 55 Series reflex photoelectric configuration for simplified installation
- Proven reliability in industrial automation environments
- Compact, integrated sensor head design
- Compatible with standard control modules and logic interfaces
- Durable construction for factory floor and warehouse applications
Technical Specifications
The Opcon 1455A-6501 integrates seamlessly into existing control architectures.
