IFM OH5008 Diffuse Reflection Sensor Red Light PNP

The diffuse reflection sensor red light PNP, also known as a light sensor, light barrier, or optical proximity sensor, from IFM with type number OH5008 is an electrical sensor for non-contact object detection in industrial applications. It operates with red light, features a PNP output, and offers integrated background suppression, which ensures precise detection regardless of the background's nature. The sensing range of this photoelectric sensor is 15 mm. It has dimensions 0.8 x 12.5 x 11 cm and weighs 0.0282 kg. Diffuse reflection sensors are used to reliably detect objects, even when the background is close or interfering, thus enabling precise process control. Typical applications include material flow automation for the presence detection of workpieces on conveyor belts and in packaging technology for monitoring fill levels and positioning packaging units.
