"Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend."
The Pepperl + Fuchs OBT500-18GM60-E5 is a state-of-the-art diffuse mode sensor designed for precision detection in a variety of industrial applications. This sensor boasts a robust detection range of 0 to 500 mm, making it suitable for tasks where accurate object presence and position detection are critical.
Crafted with a durable, nickel-plated brass housing, the sensor ensures resilience and longevity in harsh industrial environments, maintaining an IP67 degree of protection against dust and water ingress. The sensor is equipped with an infrared light source with a wavelength of 880 nm, providing a focused light spot of approximately 80 mm at the maximum detection distance, which allows for precise sensing capabilities.
The OBT500-18GM60-E5 features a dual-colour LED indicator that simplifies status monitoring, with green indicating power on and yellow showing the switch state. This visual feedback is invaluable for quick diagnostics and system checks. Additionally, the sensor offers a high switching frequency and a rapid response time of 1 ms, enabling it to keep pace with fast-moving processes.
The electrical specifications include a 10 to 30 V DC operating voltage and a PNP output that is short-circuit protected, reverse polarity protected, and features an open collector. The sensor's light/dark on function is electrically switchable, providing flexibility to adapt to different operational requirements.
Installation and adjustments are straightforward, thanks to the sensor's M18 threaded body and the included sensitivity adjuster. This allows for fine-tuning of the detection range to suit specific application needs.
Overall, the Pepperl + Fuchs OBT500-18GM60-E5 is a reliable and efficient solution for industrial sensing tasks, offering precision, durability, and ease of use.
