The Pepperl+Fuchs ML100-8-H-350-RT/103/115B background suppression sensor is a compact and highly precise photoelectric sensor designed for demanding automation environments. Equipped with advanced background suppression technology, this sensor ensures accurate detection of objects up to 350 mm while effectively ignoring backgrounds, reflective surfaces, or distant machinery that could otherwise cause false triggers. Its visible red LED light source provides clear alignment and easy commissioning, enabling operators to quickly set up the device and verify its proper operation. By focusing only on the relevant detection zone, the sensor enhances reliability and prevents downtime caused by misdetections.

A standout feature of the ML100 series is its compact, lightweight housing, which makes it ideal for tight installation spaces and complex machine layouts. The small form factor does not compromise durability—the housing is engineered for industrial robustness, allowing it to withstand harsh conditions such as vibrations, dust, and ambient lighting variations. This compact design also makes it suitable for integration into conveyor systems, packaging lines, or electronics assembly stations where space is limited but precision detection is critical.

The ML100-8-H-350-RT/103/115B is designed with excellent switching accuracy and repeatability, making it particularly effective in high-speed environments. Applications such as counting small parts, detecting transparent or glossy packaging, or ensuring the presence of components on an assembly line benefit from its ability to provide consistent, repeatable signals. The sensor reacts quickly and with precision, reducing the chances of missed detections or double counts, which are common challenges in fast production processes.

Another advantage of this sensor is its rugged and reliable construction, which supports long service life and minimizes maintenance needs. Its robust electronics are protected from environmental stressors, ensuring stable performance even under varying temperatures or challenging factory conditions. This makes the ML100-8-H-350-RT/103/115B not only a high-performance detection device but also a cost-effective choice, as it reduces downtime and maintenance efforts. By combining compact size, advanced optical technology, and robust design, this sensor provides a dependable solution for manufacturers seeking to improve automation reliability, quality assurance, and production efficiency.
