The KEYENCE PZ-V11 is a cutting-edge intelligent reflective photoelectric sensor designed for precision industrial automation. Equipped with a red LED light source, it ensures stable detection of both opaque and transparent objects within a 5–100 mm detection range . Its automatic push-button sensitivity adjustment simplifies setup, eliminating manual calibration for quick deployment. With a 1 ms response time , it excels in high-speed production lines, accurately detecting fast-moving parts or micro-components. The NPN open-collector output (100 mA max., 24 VDC) integrates seamlessly with PLCs and control systems, while the 7-segment digital monitor provides real-time feedback on signal strength and operational status. Built-in reverse polarity, overcurrent, and surge protection safeguards against electrical fluctuations, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.
Engineered for durability, the PZ-V11 features an IP67-rated enclosure , offering complete protection against dust and water ingress (up to 1-meter immersion for 30 minutes). Its glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) housing withstands vibrations (10–55 Hz, 1.5 mm double amplitude) and shocks (1,000 m/s²), making it ideal for noisy or unstable machinery . The compact square shape (approx. 55 g with a 2-m cable) allows flexible installation in tight spaces, while the light-on/dark-on switch-selectable operation mode adapts to diverse detection requirements. The sensor’s wide ambient temperature range (-20°C to +55°C) and resistance to high ambient light (5,000 lux incandescent, 20,000 lux sunlight) ensure consistent performance across varying environmental conditions.
The PZ-V11 excels in presence detection, part positioning, and conveyor system control across industries such as electronics manufacturing, packaging, and automotive assembly. Its intelligent reflective design eliminates the need for separate reflectors, reducing installation complexity. For example, it efficiently detects small electronic components on pick-and-place machines or monitors label alignment in packaging lines. The stable operation green LED and output orange LED provide clear visual indicators for troubleshooting. With CE certification and compliance with RoHS standards , the sensor aligns with global safety and environmental regulations. Its 37 mA power consumption and Class 2 safety rating further enhance energy efficiency and user safety, making it a cost-effective choice for industrial automation upgrades.
