Photoelectric sensor

The sensing range in the O5D150 is 2m and the background suppression is said to be such 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. The user can fit the sensor out of the way above a standard conveyor, instead of a reflex device and a reflector, saving installation cost.

The distance to the target is displayed in cm and simply adjusted with up/down buttons. Inclusion of an IO-Link interface allows access for time delays or remote setting, and device settings can be stored externally for a quick swap-out should the need arise.
