Photo by ifm electronic gmbh

Photoelectric sensor with PMD technology, easily and quickly configurable

• Compact housing length of only 70mm
• Convenient setting of all parameters via IO-Link 1.1
• Long range of 30 mm up to 2,000 mm
• High protection rating IP 69K enables applications with high requirements
• Versions with laser protection class 1 or 2 available

Time of flight technology as standard sensor

The OID with time of flight technology (PMD = Photonic Mixer Device) combines the following advantages: Long range, reliable background suppression, visible red light, high excess gain and all that also combined with either laser class 1 or 2. In the same price range as standard sensors, it is a clever alternative.

IO-Link for easy parameter setting

The switch point can be easily set via a controller or a PC. Unintentional maladjustment directly on the sensor is thus excluded and increases the protection against tampering. The laser beam can be switched off via IOLink or pin 5 on the M12 connector.

Any surface and any mounting position

Shiny, matt, dark or light objects of any colour: The OID features reliable background suppression and allows any angle of incidence and thus flexible mounting positions. This simplifies installation and saves costs.
