Pepperl+Fuchs, a renowned industrial sensor and process interfaces manufacturer, produces the high-quality diffuse mode sensor known as OBT500-18GM60-E5-V1. This sensor, designed for reliability and accuracy, excels in diverse industrial applications.
Constructed with durability in mind, the sensor features a robust nickel-plated brass casing, providing resistance to harsh industrial environments. Its optical face, made of impact-resistant and optically clear polycarbonate (PC), ensures longevity. The sensor’s cylindrical shape (M18 x 1) and compact size facilitate easy installation in confined spaces.
Employing an infrared light source (IRED, 880 nm) for object detection, the sensor’s modulated light minimizes sensitivity to ambient light, enhancing its reliability. The effective detection range spans from 0 to 500 mm, with a reference target of standard white 200 mm x 200 mm.
Operating at a voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC (class 2), the sensor boasts a no-load supply current of less than 25 mA. Its PNP output, equipped with short-circuit and reverse polarity protection, supports a maximum switching voltage of 30 V DC and a maximum switching current of 100 mA.
Adaptable to a wide temperature range (-25 to 55 °C or -13 to 131 °F), the sensor suits various industrial environments and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -40 to 70 °C (-40 to 158 °F).
Featuring a dual-color LED indicator, the sensor’s operation indicator is LED green, while the function indicator is a dual-color LED, yellow/green. The yellow LED denotes the switch state, the green LED signals power on, and flashing indicates stability control.
With a degree of protection rated at IP67, signifying dust-tightness and resistance to temporary water immersion, the sensor incorporates a 4-pin, M12 x 1 connector for effortless installation.
To sum up, the Pepperl+Fuchs OBT500-18GM60-E5-V1 Diffuse Mode Sensor stands out as a reliable and versatile choice for demanding industrial applications. Its sturdy design, advanced features, and broad operating temperature range contribute to its excellent performance in diverse industrial settings.
