ifm efector O1D series optical distance sensor

Thursday, 21 June, 2012 | Supplied by: ifm efector pty ltd


Even with extraneous light of up to 100,000 lux the ifm efector O1D series optical distance sensor provides reliable performance.

The sensor detects all distances, even in direct sunlight, irrespective of whether the target is fully exposed to the light or only the sensor, or both. Even reflective and shiny polished metal surfaces of stainless steel or aluminium are claimed to be reliably detected.

The company claims the sensor is insensitive to reflective surfaces such as reflective strips on safety vests or reflectors and can be used in outdoor applications for position monitoring such as portal lifters on loading stations.

As well as the optical distance detection of up to 10 m range, this product has two switching outputs, one of which can be set as an analog output. The detection zone is scalable and has a window function. The sensor can also be used in applications with background suppression.
