Photoelectric sensors - Miniature type O8 by ifm electronic GmbH

Product inquiry  

  • For the reliable position detection in feeding and handling technology
  • Particularly small housing for use where space is restricted
  • Easy setting of the range with IO-Link
  • Precise detection of very small, very flat or highly reflective components
  • Precise background suppression - independent of surface colour and gloss

The particularly small photoelectric O8 sensors are designed to provide exact position detection in robotics and in feeding, assembly and handling applications where space is limited. Thanks to the precise background suppression of the diffuse reflection sensors, very small, flat or reflective objects, too, are reliably detected, independent of colour and finish of the objects’ surface. Via IO-Link the range can be set conveniently and to the nearest millimetre. A complex adjustment of the distance from the sensor to the object is not needed.
The product range includes through-beam sensors, retro-reflective sensors and diffuse reflection sensors with precise background suppression.

The visible red light simplifies installation and set-up. Due to their pre-configured settings, the sensors are ready for operation immediately after installation.

A wide range of system components ensures easy and safe integration into the application.
