ifm efector OI Cube photoelectric sensors

The OI Cube photoelectric sensor is distinguished by long ranges up to 800 mm for diffuse types and up to 15 m for retro-reflective types. For diffuse sensors the range can be set precisely using the multiturn potentiometer. Even under harsh industrial conditions the range remains independent of colour.

The OI design is intended for position detection in conveying, where high ranges are needed. As a diffuse type, the sensor operates independently of colour so that objects with different surfaces can be detected reliably without readjustment. The metallic M30 housing is also extremely robust. Even without additional protection the sensor withstands impacts and shocks.

A feature of the sensor is the switch-point setting which uses the multiturn potentiometer and a distance scale. The turns and the scale value are linear to the distance (‘1’ = 100 mm, ‘2’ = 200 mm etc). Before connecting the sensor, the switch point can be set and seen from the sensor scale at any time. This easy-to-use, long-range sensor guarantees maximum reliability under severe conditions.
