Significantly higher process reliability

New optical IO-Link diffuse reflection sensor with background suppression from ipf electronic

Deep black objects and shiny or transparent components sometimes pose major problems for conventional optical diffuse reflection sensors, meaning that detection is not always error-free. The new optical diffuse reflection sensor OT340571 with background suppression from ipf electronic can overcome such challenges.

The response behavior of the sensor, which works with point-shaped blue light, is completely independent of the shape, color and structure of the objects to be detected, making it significantly more reliable than conventional red light scanners.

Thanks to its compact design (34mm x 12mm x 20mm), the OT340571 in a robust ABS housing with M8 connector is also suitable for installation in confined spaces. The sensor has a push-pull switching output and is designed for switching distances from 10mm to 200mm.

The background suppression can be precisely adjusted via teach-in or the integrated IO-Link interface. The diffuse reflection sensor also offers other interesting features via IO-Link, such as a window function, a turn-off delay or frequency monitoring. Thanks to the visible light spot, the sensor is very easy to align and is therefore quickly ready for operation.
