Optical sensor has range up to 10m
With a range up to 10m and two independent switchpoints, sensor uses photonic mixer device chip to calculate time-of-flight measurement.
With a range up to 10m and two independent switchpoints, the O1 sensor from IFM Electronic uses a photonic mixer device (PMD) chip, which calculates time-of-flight measurement The Efector PMD uses a visible laser transmitter for easy sighting, accuracy and to achieve the long range
As the distance is measured, the effects of reflection from the background can be ignored.
The display will show where the switchpoints have been set, even in imperial units if required, and the pushbutton setting is straightforward.
Using a standard M12 connector, this compact, robust sensor is suitable for standard industrial environments. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
