Now even safer

16 March 2015

Launched less than two years ago, the OID photoelectric sensor from ifm electronic, has now been joined by a new version featuring the safer class one laser.

The performance of the OID has been retained in the new version, OID250; the sensing range is still 2m and the background suppression is so good that it won’t even see high-visibility PPE beyond the set switch point.

The target colour doesn’t matter, nor do shiny surfaces, and the angle of incidence can be oblique. All this allows the user to fit the sensor out of the way above a standard conveyor, instead of a reflex device and a reflector, thus saving installation cost, too.
