Miniature photoelectric sensors with high ­performance

August 2015 Sensors & Transducers

The new O6 diffuse reflection sensors from ifm electronic provide reliable background suppression, even in case of highly reflective backgrounds such as moving machine parts. The clearly defined consistent light spot ensures precise object detection. There is no scattered light which could interfere with other photoelectric sensors in close vicinity.

For connection, users can choose between a potted cable, M12 pigtail or an M8 metal connector on the housing.

The O6 range features a potentiometer for intuitive setting, and the light-on or dark-on mode is selected via a rotary switch. The diffuse reflection, through-beam and retro-reflective sensors are distinguished by a good price/performance ratio. An extensive range of accessories is available making the sensors ideal for universal applications.
