Photoelectric sensors
31 July 2014
Recently launched at Hanover are new versions of ifm’s latest O6 type photoelectric sensors in the standard small housing with 1” hole centres.

Released last year in stainless steel, the more cost-effective plastic-housed versions of this successful range have now been made available.
The diffuse reflection sensor features particularly reliable background interference suppression and a powerful performance. A potentiometer for range setting and a rotary switch for light-on/dark-on selection are intuitive and simple to operate. The sensing range is independent of the characteristics and colour of the object to be detected.
The sensors also provide impressive optical performance and flexibility in use.
