OGP100 Retro-reflective sensor
A photoelectric sensor is equipment used to discover the distance, absence or presence of an object by using a light transmitter and a photoelectric receiver.
A photoelectric sensor emits a light beam (visible or infrared) and is received by the light receiving element which are both contained in a single housing. The sensor receives the light reflected from the target.
Automation technology can no longer be imagined without photoelectric sensors as “artificial eyes”. They are used where a reliable and non-contact detection of the exact position of objects is required.
The material of the object to be detected is of no importance, but compared to inductive sensors, photoelectric sensors have a much greater sensing zone.
ifm has an OG range of photoelectric sensors, that are in plastic housing and specially designed for position detection in conveying and handling applications. They are a low-cost alternative as opposed to units with metal housing and ready for operation immediately thanks to the fixed setting.
The diffuse reflection sensor is easy to set via potentiometer and ifm offer an extensive range of system components for easy and secure mounting.
DBI Control have recently applied the OGP100 Retro-reflective sensor from the OG photoelectric sensor range in a project to design and install one control panel to control a Lineshaft and Belt conveyor system at a distribution centre in Bristol, integrated over three separate floors with a new Belt system linking the floors.
The OGP100 Retro-reflective sensor transmitter emits a beam of light that is set up to hit a prismatic reflector or reflective tape and the resultant reflections is sensed by the receiver.
It is very long range and the sensor is ideal for the detection of objects and materials without the need for contact. It includes a polarisation filter and emits a red light beam for easy set up.
