The innovative machine light from ifm offers ideal and efficient illumination. It combines compliance with the strict requirements of the Ecodesign Directive, with exceptional robustness and versatile application options. The device impresses with its elegant, smooth surface and hygienic design, making it perfect for use in demanding areas. The materials used are not only particularly robust, but also guarantee an impressively long service life.
With a length of 250 mm and the option of connecting it via an M12 connection, it offers incredible flexibility. Up to four lights can be arranged in a row to create optimum illumination. The machine light not only impresses with its efficient white light, but also with its vibrant RGB signal colours – and at a price that can easily compete with conventional products that only provide white light. It is controlled via four 24 V DC channels, and the IO-Link integration via the DP1615 enables many different control options.
Thanks to the tried-and-tested plastic injection moulding technology, the machine light is extremely robust and resistant to chemicals. The sheathing reliably protects the electronics and guarantees a long service life – even in demanding environmental conditions. It is mounted using a universal mounting clip, which can be attached with a screw, magnet or ifm clamp.
