The IFM O1D405 is a high-performance photoelectric distance sensor that utilizes PMD (Photonic Mixer Device) time-of-flight technology for precise and reliable object detection. It offers a long sensing range of up to 2 meters, largely independent of the target’s color or surface finish. With its excellent background suppression and high excess gain, the O1D405 performs reliably even in challenging industrial environments with steam, smoke, or dust. The sensor features a visible class 1 laser light for easy alignment and a robust stainless steel housing, making it a durable solution for various automation tasks such as presence detection, level monitoring, and positioning.
