Metal Photoelectric Sensors for Industrial Automation

The compact OG-Cube sensors have been designed for use in applications with limited installation space. Thanks to the lateral M18 thread and the connector facing downwards, this type is ideally suited for use in conveying applications.

The ODGxxx sensors provide precision distance measurement up to 1.5 m.

  • Compact and robust housing
  • Excellent price/performance ratio
  • Long ranges
  • Setting process saves time and cost during set-up
  • Extensive range of mounting components

Description

Technology overview

ifm’s laser distance sensors leverage the advantages of pmd time-of-flight technology for accurate and long range distance measurement.

Light waves propagate from the laser light source. When the light bounces off the target, the phase pattern shifts and the shift is directly proportional to the distance.

This proprietary technology provides:

  • Robust detection of small reflective targets
  • Quick installation due to color and angle independence
  • Measured distance information via IO-Link
