Product Description
IFM O5H500
The IFM O5H500 is a high-performance photoelectric diffuse reflection sensor designed for reliable object detection in demanding industrial environments. It features precise background suppression, allowing it to accurately detect objects regardless of their color or reflectivity, while ignoring interfering backgrounds. Housed in a robust M18 threaded stainless steel body, this sensor offers an adjustable sensing range of up to 500 mm. The visible red light source simplifies alignment, and the standard M12 connector ensures quick and secure installation. With a high protection rating of IP67, the O5H500 is ideal for use in wet and dusty conditions common in packaging, material handling, and factory automation applications.
