ifm OGD Precision laser distance sensor

The ifm OGD Precision is a compact colour-independent laser sensor with a standard M18 thread that utilises time-of-flight technology.

Due to the on-chip time-of-flight principle with PMD technology (photonic mixer device), the sensor offers all the capability of a precise measurement system, and is capable of measuring distance to the nearest millimetre up to a range of 300 mm. The distance information can determine the presence of parts or their correct installation. The high reflection resistance and background suppression, together with a high excess gain, enable ongoing operation.

The distance value is shown on a two-colour display and sent via IO-Link. Settings are configured also via IO-Link or via three integral push-buttons.
