Component Details
The IFM-O5D150 is a photoelectric distance sensor that is designed to provide precise distance measurement in various industrial automation and robotics applications. This sensor is manufactured by IFM Electronic GmbH, a leading German company that specializes in the production of sensors, control technology, and connectivity solutions for various industries.
The O5D150 operates on the principle of time-of-flight (TOF) sensing, which involves emitting a laser pulse and measuring the time it takes for the reflected pulse to return. The sensor’s measuring range is 0.03 to 2 meters, making it suitable for applications where high precision and accuracy are required.
The sensor has a compact design, measuring just 38 mm in length, 17 mm in width, and 32 mm in height. It is equipped with an M12 threaded connection for easy installation and integration into various machines and systems. The O5D150 is also available in different versions, including analog and digital output, as well as different mounting options such as flange and bracket mounting.
The sensor’s electronic components are protected by a durable housing made of high-impact polyamide (PA66), which provides excellent resistance to shock, vibration, and dust. The housing is also IP67 rated, meaning it is fully protected against dust and immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes.
