IFM-OGP500: Retro-reflective sensor

Component Details

The IFM-OGP500 is a retro-reflective sensor designed for object detection within a range of 0.03 to 5 meters. It is manufactured by IFM electronic GmbH, a leading German company specializing in automation technology. The sensor operates on the principle of time-of-flight measurement, which involves sending out a laser pulse and measuring the time it takes for the reflected light to return. Based on this time measurement, the sensor can accurately determine the distance and speed of the object being detected.

Application

The IFM-OGP500 is widely used in various applications where object detection is crucial. Some of these applications include:

• Automatic door control systems: The sensor is used to detect the presence of objects in front of the door, preventing accidents caused by sudden door closure.
• Security applications: The sensor is used in security systems to detect intruders or moving objects, triggering alarms or notifications.
• Packaging and material handling: The sensor is used to monitor the position and movement of objects during packaging and material handling processes.
• Robotics and automation: The sensor is used in robotics and automation applications to provide precise positioning and motion control.

Uses

The IFM-OGP500 offers several advantages and uses, including:

• High accuracy: The sensor provides accurate distance and speed measurements with a resolution of up to 2 mm.
• Wide operating temperature range: The sensor can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C.
• Dust and moisture protection: The sensor is IP67 rated, providing protection against dust and moisture.
• Easy integration: The sensor is available in different output signals, making it easy to integrate into various applications.
• Low power consumption: The sensor consumes less than 5 W of power, making it energy-efficient and cost-effective.

Maintainance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of the IFM-OGP500, the following maintenance practices are recommended:

• Clean the sensor lens regularly to prevent dirt and debris buildup.
• Check the sensor connections and wiring for any damages or loose connections.
• Calibrate the sensor periodically to ensure accurate measurements.
• Store the sensor in a dry and clean environment to prevent damage due to moisture or dust.
• Replace the sensor if it shows any signs of damage or malfunction.
