Ifm launches the new generation of its OGD series distance sensors offering multiple options for optimization

Even more performance

The new generation of tried-and-tested distance sensors from the OGD series combines all the advantages of their various predecessor variants in just one device. The user is now presented with a choice of operating modes for optimisation in terms of either high measuring distances, maximum precision or high measuring frequencies. This reduces the number of variants while enabling an optimum adaptation to a wide range of applications.

Versatile use

The sensors of the OGD series measure distance values with millimetre precision. They are ideal assistants for positioning objects or checking presence, for example in quality control. The reflectance values can also be used, for example for identification in sorting tasks. The areas of application are wide-ranging: whether handling technology, robotics, assembly automation, conveyor technology or logistics; the new OGDs are universal problem solvers for your automation!

Light- or heavy-duty?

Ifm now offer the OGD in both plastic and stainless steel housings.
