The superior performance of the O6 range of miniature photoelectric sensors from market leader ifm has led to their widespread use in a short space of time.
While standard photocells struggle when soaked in oils and coolants, the new O6 400 Series is designed and tested specifically to withstand such aggressive media.
The O6 400 Series, in a housing with standard 1” mounting centres, is available in four sensing configurations with PNP and NPN versions released. The through-beam and retro-reflective versions provide long range sensing with 10m and 5m respectively, while the diffuse sensor will detect objects at 600mm. Probably the best-performing background suppressed sensor on the market, the O6H, will sense reliably at 200mm without any influence of background materials, however reflective!
