ifm electronic’s OG-Cube photoelectric sensor line now includes a family of through-beam sensors with a 20 m range. The compact sensors offer high optical performance in a robust metal housing; and reliable position detection in industrial applications such as conveying, packaging, material handling and automotive manufacturing.
The OG-Cube’s housing is designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions and is more durable than traditional plastic housings. The sensor features metal M18 mounting threads that will not strip during mounting – a common problem with plastic threads. The sensor’s standard M12 connector resists high torque and provides quick wiring capability.
Bright LEDs indicate the operating status, both power and output, making troubleshooting fast and easy. The sensors are designed to provide long sensing ranges that increase the distance between the sensor and the target, preventing physical damage from fast-moving targets.
For quick installation, ifm has designed two bracket systems for the OG-Cube. With a full 360° adjustment, the mounting bracket kits enable both products to rotate in multiple directions to fit an application. Its flexibility simplifies alignment and eliminates the need to manufacture brackets in-house.
The OG-Cube’s high accuracy background suppression technology eliminates the need for adjustment as target colours change. Retro-reflective models in the range incorporate a polarising filter that eliminates false triggers from shiny targets.

Sensors & Transducers
The pulp and paper industry poses a major problem for most photoelectric sensors. The high level of contamination in these dusty, dirty and grimy environments makes it impossible for most competing sensors to operate and sense reliably and efficiently.

Electrical Power & Protection
Despite growing digitalisation, there are still many situations where analogue measured values such as the level in a tank or the temperature of a climatised room must be directly readable in the control cabinet or at the control desk. The current loop display is designed for precisely this purpose.
