ifm electronics’ compact O4 Series photoelectric sensors offer extremely long sensing ranges. With ranges up to 50 m, the O4 photo-electrics are ideal for applications including transporting, conveying, inspection and error-proofing. The extended sensing range enables the sensor to be placed further away from an application reducing its chance of physical damage.
The stainless steel buffer provides additional protection for the sensors
The 3-wire Micro dc range includes: a through-beam pair with a sensing range of 50 m; a polarised retro-reflective model with a sensing range up to 18 m; and a diffuse reflective model with adjustable background suppression that offers a range from 50 to 1400 mm.
The sensors feature pushbutton teach-in operation that quickly establishes light-on/dark-on programming. An integrated microprocessor provides automatic calibration and can differentiate between the target and the background with minimal distance between the two.
Visible red light technology simplifies set-up and provides quick mounting. The durable connector rotates 270° for alignment in multiple directions. A variety of easy-to-use brackets are available for versatile mounting. Various mounting accessories and reflectors are also available as well as Micro DC ecolink cord-sets.
