EXTON, PA – August 20, 2007– O4 Series photoelectric sensors offer extremely long sensing ranges up to 50 meters. The O4 photoelectrics are ideal for applications including transporting, conveying, inspection and error-proofing. The extended sensing range enables the sensor to be placed farther away from an application reducing its chance of physical damage. A built-in, stainless steel bracket provides additional protection for the sensor.The 3-wire Micro DC sensors include a thru-beam pair with a sensing range of 50 meters; a polarized retro-reflective model with a sensing range up to 18 meters; and a diffuse reflective model with adjustable background suppression that offers a range from 50 to 1400 mm.
The sensors feature a two-pushbutton Teach operation that quickly establishes light-on/dark-on programming. An integrated microprocessor provides automatic calibration and can differentiate between the target and the background with minimal distance between the two.Visible red light technology simplifies set-up and provides quick mounting. The durable connector rotates 270° for alignment in multiple directions.
A variety of easy-to-use brackets are available for versatile mounting.List price for the O4 Series sensors are $70.00 to $98.00 (U.S.).
A variety of mounting accessories and reflectors are available as well as Micro DC ecolink cordsets.ifm efector inc. is a premier technology partner for sensors and controls.
