ifm electronic Ltd launches new smart photoelectric sensor for clear objects


Available now from sensor market leader ifm electronic is the latest in the O5 family of photocells. The O5G is designed for reliable detection of clear glass and plastics. The O5G is sensitive enough even to pick up smoke, so the thinnest of plastic films pose no problems.

The O5G500 is a retro-reflective sensor with polarisation filter. In combination with a prismatic reflector with fine prismatic structure it is the optimum choice for the detection of transparent objects. Despite its compact dimensions of 18.2 x 56 x 46.8 mm the O5G can achieve a range of up to 1.500 mm.

The automatic switch point adjustment ensures reliable operation in case of gradual soiling as it occurs in normal industrial environments.

The system can be set to the corresponding application via the teach mode. Even clear-glass materials can be detected by pressing the teach button twice. The light-on or dark-on mode is set at the same time.

The O5G500 is also suitable for fast processes with its high switching frequency of 2,000 Hz.

Visible red light and various mounting accessories facilitate alignment during mounting, while the standard M12 connector rotates to allow connection at the back or from below. And of course the price is remarkable, too!
