The IFM 02D224 (02DIRPKG/K) is a high-performance photoelectric diffuse reflection sensor engineered for reliable object detection in challenging industrial applications. Featuring precise background suppression, this sensor accurately identifies objects within a 2 to 200 mm range, regardless of their color or surface reflectivity. Its robust rectangular housing and IP67 rating ensure durability and consistent performance in harsh environments. The visible red light source simplifies installation and alignment, while the high switching frequency makes it ideal for high-speed processes in packaging, material handling, and assembly automation. With a programmable PNP output and a standard M12 connector, the 02D224 offers versatile and easy integration into modern control systems.
