Round tech in a square shell - with plenty to offer

When precision meets versatility, there is often a small technical miracle behind it. This is also the case with the optical sensor OT450420 from ipf electronic with background suppression. This compact device reliably recognizes objects - regardless of shape, color or material - and is so robust that it always cuts a fine figure, even in harsh industrial environments.

You could say that the round is in the square, because inside the square sensor housing is a round, pinpoint LED that emits pulsed red light with a wavelength of 630 nanometers. This enables the sensor to reliably detect objects within a range of 30 to 550 millimeters. Setting the desired sensing range is particularly easy thanks to the teach-in function - a brief contact with a ferromagnetic tool on the blue teach LED on the back of the housing is all it takes and the sensor is ready for use.

With a response time of just 1 millisecond and a switching frequency of up to 500Hz, the OT450420 reacts at lightning speed - ideal for applications where every millisecond counts. At the same time, the integrated background suppression ensures that only what is really relevant is detected.

The device also impresses across the board in terms of safety and operating comfort. It is short-circuit and reverse polarity protection and is protected against dust and water in accordance with IP67. The connection is made via an M12 plug contact. Integrated interference suppression also prevents several sensors installed at a short distance from each other from interfering with each other.

The OT450420 is a real all-rounder - precise, fast, robust and easy to operate. Anyone looking for a reliable sensor for demanding tasks will find a well thought-out solution that perfectly combines technology and practice.
