ifm efector O6 photoelectric sensors

Click2Contact

The latest O6 type photoelectric sensors from ifm efector now also come in a stable plastic housing. The robust diffuse reflection sensor features a particularly reliable background interference suppression. The setting ranges via potentiometer and a rotary switch is intuitive and simple (light-on/dark-on selection). The sensing range is independent of the colour of the object being detected.

Even highly reflective backgrounds like stainless steel as well as moving machine parts do not affect  the background suppression. The clearly defined round light spot in the operating area ensures consistent light distribution in the light cone. Scattered light around the light spot which could potentially disturb other photoelectric sensors reflection is completely avoided, providing additional safety.

This compact unit (13 x 41 x 21 mm) offers variants with PUR connection cable, M12 pigtail or a robust M8 metal connector on the housing. The sensors are also available as through-beam and retroreflective systems.
