The new BOS R030K family
Balluff's smallest self-contained photoelectric sensors

Photoelectric mini sensors from Balluff are the right choice when small parts need to be detected precisely, space is tight, and high reliability is important. From factory automation to life sciences and the semiconductor industry, these space-saving wonders provide great solutions and offer great design freedom.
This new BOS R030K family is an effective solution for applications in which other sensors – even previous mini sensors – literally do not fit. It expands our comprehensive, successful portfolio of optical miniature sensors and is a real asset.
Great potential in small spaces
The smallest self-contained sensor in the Balluff photoelectric portfolio solves applications for position and presence detection in places with extremely limited installation space. It does not require any external electronics and is available with two operating principles: diffuse sensor/background suppression for short distances and through-beam sensor for medium distances. A total of 24 variants offer maximum flexibility and user-friendliness.

Diffuse sensors
with background suppression in front-facing version, range up to 30 mm, cable and pigtail version

Through-beam sensors
in front-facing version, range up to 1 m, cable and pigtail version

Through-beam sensors
in side-facing version, range up to 1 m, cable and pigtail version
Not only quality, but also quantity
They scores not only with obvious size advantages and the usual high precision, but also with an attractive price-performance ratio that enables it to be used in large quantities.
