Photoelectric sensor with time of flight measurement (PMD) by ifm electronic

Standard photoelectric sensor with time of flight measurement (PMD) – compact and precise.

Reliable background suppression and colour-independent detection with switch point setting to the nearest centimetre are the outstanding features of the new photoelectric O5D sensor from ifm electronic. The PMDLine sensor even detects shiny surfaces such as stainless steel without problem.

This newly developed sensor with PMD technology (Photonic Mixer Device) combines the advantages of long ranges, reliable background suppression, visible red light and high excess gain in one unit. In the same price range as conventional sensors, the O5D is a clever alternative. Another advantage is its ease of use and switch point setting to the nearest centimetre via “+/-” buttons and display.

Surfaces and installation

Shiny, matt, dark or light objects of any colour – the O5D sensor always ensures optimum background suppression. It allows any angle of incidence, providing high flexibility of installation. The sensor is also IO-Link enabled, e.g. for reading the current value. This optical expert sets the bar high for conventional sensors.
