ifm efector O5D150 Optical sensor, Class I, 0.03-2m range, 4wire DC PNP, NO/NC outputs

Overview

Ifm’s O5 series photoelectric sensors are distinguished by long ranges, a versatile installation and mounting concept and an attractive price-performance ratio. The red light, infrared light and laser variants of this product line are available as through beam, retro-reflective or diffuse reflection sensor types. The sensors are fast and easy to mount. Various fixing elements allow for an optimal adaptation to the particular installation situation. The O5D is a distance sensor with time-of-flight measurement based on PMD technology (PMD = Photonic Mixer Device). It combines the advantages of long ranges, reliable background suppression, visible red light and high excess gain in one compact, rectangular standard housing. The switch point can be set to the nearest centimeter via “+/-” buttons and the display. Thanks to IO-Link, the switch point can also be set from a controller or PC. The current value can be viewed on the display at all times. The accurate background suppression ensures that even shiny, matt, dark or light objects are safely detected. The unit allows any angle of incidence and thus any mounting position, which facilitates installation and saves costs. Versions with laser class 1 meet the requirements of applications in the automotive industry.

Features:

• Very long range due to time-of-flight measurement
• Reliable background suppression and color-independent detection
• With display and pushbuttons for precise switch point setting
• Oblique angle to the object possible
• Reliable detection of glossy surfaces
