"THE BLUE ONE" GETS REINFORCEMENTS
Objects are generally difficult to detect with optical diffusereflection sensors if they reflect little or hardly any light onto the receiver. Deep black parts and shiny or transparent objects therefore often pose major challenges for diffuse-reflection sensors, as a stable process sequence is not always guaranteed and incorrect switching can occur. Since 2023, the OT340571optical diffuse-reflection sensor, which works with blue light, has been meeting these challenges with flying colors.
This success has prompted ipf electronic to expand the
product segment with two new diffuse-reflection sensors.
The OTQ80571 (protection class IP67) with push-pull
switching output scores points with its robust, glass fiber
reinforced plastic housing and its compact dimensions of
26x15x8.2mm, which offer a decisive advantage particularly in
confined installation conditions. The switching distance of the
OTQ80571 is 10...100mm. The background suppression for
detection that is virtually independent of the object surface
can be set precisely by teach-in or via the integrated IO-Link
interface. The connection is made via an M8 cable connector
(cable length 0.2m). The OT230321 diffuse-reflection sensor,
also with background suppression, has a considerable range
of up to 1.2m. The detection range can be adjusted using a
potentiometer. The switching output can be configured as a
normally closed or normally open contact via a control input.
Another special feature is the 270° rotatable M12 connector
plug, which offers significant advantages for variable mounting.
The protection class of the OT230321 is IP67. (bb)
