Small and compact photoelectric sensors with high performance.

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about the O6 series photoelectric sensors by ifm, highlighting their compact size and high performance. These sensors are designed for use in various industrial applications, including wet and hygienic areas, and are ECOLAB certified for the food industry.

Specifications: The O6 sensors feature a robust stainless steel housing with protection ratings of IP 68 and IP 69K, ensuring durability in wet environments. They offer reliable background suppression, automatic sensitivity compensation, and a well-defined light spot for precise object detection.

Performance: The sensors maintain a constant range regardless of object color or surface, making them suitable for detecting different materials like wood and paper. They are equipped with a potentiometer for easy switch point setting and a rotary switch for selecting light-on or dark-on modes.

Variants: The O6 series is available in multiple variants, including diffuse reflection type (energetic or with background suppression), through-beam, and retro-reflective systems. Connection options include M8 connector, M12 pigtail, or PUR connection cable. IO-Link variants allow for advanced settings such as range, sensitivity, and switching delay adjustments.

Applications: These sensors are ideal for industrial applications requiring precise detection and are particularly suited for environments with steam, smoke, or reflective surfaces.

Additional Information: For further technical data, application videos, or pricing, users are directed to visit the ifm website. The document also lists other products in the ifm range, including position sensors, safety technology, and industrial communication systems.

Optical performance at its best. Constant range For the diffuse type systems the range is independent of the degree of reflection and the colour of the object to be detected. Strong: Diffuse reflection sensor with reliable background suppression. Reliable: The automatic sensitivity compensation guarantees reliable operation even in the event of steam, smoke or highly reflective environments. Precise: Well-defined light spot for exact object detection, no scattered light. Constant: With background suppression the range is independent of the object colour and surface.
