ifm efector O6 wetline series photoelectric sensors

The O6 wetline series photoelectric sensors are diffuse reflection sensors that provide noise-immune background suppression. Even highly reflective backgrounds, such as stainless steel, do not affect the background suppression. The sensing range is independent of the type and colour of the object to be detected.

A feature of the O6 sensor is the automatic sensitivity adjustment which guarantees safe functioning even in case of vapour, smoke and strongly reflective environments. The clearly defined round light spot in the operating area provides consistent light intensity in the light cone. Scattered light around the light spot that could disturb other sensors by reflections is avoided.

The compact O6 is perfectly sealed and the two setting potentiometers have a double sealing. The stainless steel housing provides a  IP68/IP69K protection rating. The transparent black housing cover provides good contrast for the integrated LEDs (operating state, switch point) so that they are clearly visible even in bright environments. The coated front lens consists of resistant, splinter-free plastic.
