High performance in compact design

Suited to  applications where space is really tight, they also have the ability to perform reliably even when faced with challenging object properties, variable mounting positions or inconsistent lighting conditions. Operators benefit from features such as plug and play integration, resulting in faster design-into systems and, therefore, quicker integration into production processes.

The company's range of photoelectric sensors includes a wide choice of models to suit specific application requirements. For example OT300/OT500 sensors for longer range measurement of objects up to 2.6m utilise time-of-flight measurement and provide reliable object detection of reflective, glossy or irregularly shaped objects. The standardised IO-Link ensures quick and simple integration and fast parameterisation.

For smaller sensing applications the miniature 0200 sensors have overall sizes from 8mm, providing an outstanding size performance ratio. They offer high immunity to ambient light, operate with a point and line beam shape and are adjustable via qTeach or IO-Link with LED and laser along with qTarget. A through-beam sensor measures objects up to 6m.

Where the requirement is for a ‘standard’ sensor the 0300/ 500 option which incorporates a powerful microcontroller is ideal for general process sensing applications. It features seven sensor principles, four light sources along with line or point beam shapes. They are easy to install and operate and incorporate IO-Link so are Industry 4.0 and IoT-ready.
